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 third of three episodes, the Rainers examine the wrong kind of dreams many church leaders and members have.

1. Bad dream #1: Another location

2. Bad dream #2: Another community

3. Bad dream #3: Another time

4. Why pessimism kills revitalization
