Autopsy of a Deceased Church highlighted 12 reasons churches die. This week, we are looking back at what we’ve learned in the five years since it was published and highlighting a new related video resource.

Some highlights from today’s episode include:

• Corporate worship should be a priority and not just one activity option among many for church members on the weekend.
• A self-centered attitude among church members is a main factor in church deaths.
• Stay true to the Word no matter the cost.
• An outward focus transforms the attitudes and culture of a church.

The seven attitudes we discuss are:

1. The optional church attitude
2. The self-centered attitude
3. The diluted doctrine attitude
4. The routine-as-idol attitude
5. The consumer critique attitude
6. The consumer embracing attitude
7. The death-rather-than-give attitude
