We celebrate our 400th episode by discussing four keys for how churches can be successful in their ministry this year.
Some highlights from today’s episode include:
- We have mission drift in many of our churches.
- You cannot make incremental adjustments to become outwardly focused. It must be a major shift.
- If your church is focused on outreach, it will likely have fewer distractions and arguments about inward issues.
- The greatest distraction in churches is often disunity.
- The body of Christ is designed to work together in unity.
The four keys we cover are:
- Increase your efforts to reach your community by fourfold.
- Focused your congregation to pray John 17:20-23 as an ongoing prayer effort.
- Make a concerted effort to abandon the entitlement mentality.
- Pray for hearts that would be willing to accept new paradigms.
