This week, ASTR's Dr. David Trim, and Dr. Galina Stele discuss church research and pastoral care. The topic of discussion: why people leave the Adventist church, current weaknesses in pastoral care, and how member visitation can change current statistics. Also, learn what took place This Week in Adventist History, as this week's episode highlights Adventist healthcare from the Adventist Yearbook.
