My latest book, Scrappy Church, was written to offer hope to churches who think they may not have a future. God is not done with your church yet.
Some highlights from today’s episode include:
- God has put you at your church for a reason.
- If a church refuses to define reality and change, it will likely not fulfill its Kingdom potential.
- Churches shouldn’t see their community or their resources as limitations but as opportunities for ministry.
- Instead of worrying about what we don’t have, we need to take what God has given us and do something with it.
- Courage is not the absence of fear; it’s moving forward in spite of fear.
The six transitions scrappy church leaders have to make are:
- Excuses to Ownership
- Obstacles to Allies
- Limitations to Abundance
- Despair to Joy
- Fear to Courage
- Impossible to Possible
