Inward focus is natural for churches. It takes intentional effort and supernatural power to overcome this inward focus. Today, we discuss six reasons why it is so difficult to overcome.
Some highlights from today’s episode include:
- There are times in every leader’s life when they get comfortable and don’t move forward. It happens, but you must keep pushing.
- Churches have to be outwardly focused or their kingdom impact will be minimal.

- Demands of church members
- Settling into a comfort zone
- Lack of guidance or resources
- Lack of affirmation
