Thom and Sam are joined by Dr. Chuck Lawless from Southeastern Seminary. Today’s discussion is on six shifts in church health and revitalization.

The six shifts:

1. 1. The institutional emphasis in church revitalization
   2. The micro-movement
   3. The return to resource-led revitalization 
   4. The neighborhood church movement
   5. The facility adjustment issue 

Other highlights:

• We are finally catching up on providing resources and training for church revitalization
• In order for a big movement to happen, it is going to have to happen through the smaller neighborhood churches.
• Pastors and other leaders often need a starting point for revitalization.
• It is very common to find a large worship center and a small congregation.
