Having someone walking along with you in ministry is important. Today we discuss how a coach can specifically help you as you look to lead a revitalization.
Episode Highlights:
- Outside perspective helps you see your ministry impact from a different vantage point.
- It’s important for you to have someone in your life who has been through more than you to help you process decisions.
- If you’re coaching someone in ministry, your number one job is to encourage them.
- Too many pastors are starving for encouragement.
The eight reasons we cover are:
- For an outsider perspective
- For wisdom and counsel
- For encouragement
- For venting
- For resources
- For a break and breather
- For the family
- For dealing with the complexity of culture

Revitalize & Replant is sponsored by the North American Mission Board and ChurchReplanters.com. More than 10% of churches in North America are at risk of closing and the North American Mission Board is committed to reversing this trend by decreasing the death rate of existing churches while simultaneously increasing the birth rate of new churches.
