Thom and Sam take the listeners on an exciting three-part journey about major moves that should be made in any and every revitalization. They are part of a larger “checklist” revitalization leaders need to follow. In this first of three episodes, the Rainers examine why the church cannot merely pause but must hit a total reset button.

1. Understand that everything has changed, just like always.

2. Evangelism is not an option.

3. You have to deal with the attendance frequency issue.

4. The reset only works with realistic optimism.

Tyndale is partnering with Operation Worship to get Bibles into the hand of our troops.

  • Every day, thousands of soldiers and military families ask for God’s Word to fight fear, stress, anxiety, and depression.
  • This holiday season, you can give hope to our troops by sending them an Operation Worship Bible.
  • Just $6 is enough to put a Bible into the hands of a military member.
  • Bibles are printed in the U.S. then shipped to military chaplains throughout the world, who then deliver them directly to our brave service members.
  • More than 1.5 million Operation Worship Bibles have been distributed to military personnel around the world.
