Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Welcome: Loving Your Church by Making Space for Everyone
Jen Oshman · 2023
🎙 Narrated by Jen Oshman (author-narrated)
72/100
👍 Worth It
Jen Oshman writes from real church-planting experience, and it shows - this is warm, practical guidance for making newcomers feel like family, grounded in solid biblical thinking rather than platitudes. It's a niche pick that lands best with church leaders and Acts 29-style congregations, but it's honest and useful; and since Oshman narrates it herself, the delivery carries that same personal warmth.
