Facilities Five and Dime: The Podcast on Church Facility Stewardship
Facilities Five and Dime: The Podcast on Church Facility Stewardship isn’t your typical podcast. Like the old five-and-dime stores—where merchants had to know a little bit about everything—we step into the world of facility stewardship with curiosity, grit, and a touch of storytelling flair. Each episode digs into real stories, lessons learned, and surprising turns behind the buildings we use every day.
From unseen risks hidden in cooling towers to potential poor communication within a maintenance team, we uncover how small details and overlooked systems can have significant consequences. Along the way, we tie in history, best practices, and practical wisdom that will equip facility teams, leaders, and everyday stewards to care well for the spaces entrusted to them.
Think of it as a place where curiosity meets expertise, and where every aisle is stocked with a new story you didn’t expect—but one you’ll never forget.

Facilities Five and Dime - Technology and Covid-19 with Jonathan Smith
Join us this week as we have a conversation with Jonathan Smith. Jonathan Smith is an author, conference speaker, and the Director of Technology at Faith Ministries in Lafayette, IN. You can reach Jonathan at jsmith@faithlafayette.org and follow him on Twitter @JonathanESmith. Like most of us Jonathan and his team are experiencing a different work and personal environment every day. However, that does not mean we cannot thrive and even laugh and grow. We discuss several things, including being prepared for the new operational reality, what things may remain after this is settles, and how we are keeping positive both at home and work. We would love to hear your thoughts as well, let us know at info@smartchurchsolutions.com, and be on the lookout for some new facility readiness resources soon.
