As the leader of a church’s revitalization, you have to be able to provide certain things to the people and the community. Today, we cover six key components.

Today’s Listener Question:

FROM ROBBY

I’m a young pastor getting ready to go into my second pastorate, and this new church is in need for mild revitalization. I have been reading about, studying, and living in church revitalization during my first pastorate, so it is not a foreign topic to me, however I’m no expert when it comes to church revitalization. What areas/actions would you suggest that I focus on as I begin serving in this new position?

Episode Highlights:

  • Whatever age you are, always have a learning disposition.
  • Good leadership does two things: it helps you face reality, and it gives you hope.
  • Revitalization must be led by a pastor who gives the church a healthy dose of love.
  • Churches in need of revitalization have to be reminded that they have a future.
  • Any vision statement that is not actionable is not a true vision statement.

The six keys we cover are:

  1. A healthy dose of reality
  2. Unconditional love
  3. Hope
  4. A clear plan forward
  5. A love for the community
  6. Respect for their history and heritage

Karen and Charlotte Pence on Vice President’s Faith, Creating Marlon Bundo’s First Book (Interview)

(Photo: John Caruso/Regnery Publishing)“Marlon Bundo’s A Day In the Life of the Vice President” by Charlotte and Karen Pence.

A new children’s book by second lady Karen Pence and daughter Charlotte details a day in the life of the vice president, told from the perspective of their pet rabbit. 

“The book shows the personal side of my dad,” author Charlotte Pence said Tuesday in a phone interview with The Christian Post about her book, Marlon Bundo’s A Day In The Life of The Vice President, along with her mother Karen, a trained watercolorist who did the illustrations. Proceeds from sales will benefit anti-human trafficking efforts and art therapy initiatives Mrs. Pence has long championed.

The 24-year-old daughter of Vice President Mike Pence resides in Los Angeles and is pursuing a career in filmmaking. The idea for this new book all began with her rabbit’s growing online presence, she explained; her 5-year-old bunny has an Instagram account with a following of over 21,000. Marlon Bundo made his first appearance with his own account on the online picture sharing social media platform shortly after her father’s and President Trump’s inauguration in 2017.

She first acquired the rabbit for a college film project and he has since been dubbed “BOTUS” — Bunny of the United States — and is the main character of the story.

The Pences thought it would be fun to write a historic and educational book for children about the vice presidency. The book showcases several dimensions of the second-most powerful political office in the United States, including the role the vice president has as…
