Depression is real and pervasive in those who work in the church. Church revitalization is a difficult task and leading the church is spiritual warfare. We want to give you helpful tools to help you as you work through your emotions and remind you of truth when faced with struggle.

Highlights:

  • The struggles in a revitalization are real and pervasive.
  • Spiritual warfare is clearly evident in revitalization.
  • You are not alone.
  • You should get help when you are depressed.
  • Depression is not an indicator of either defeat or inferiority.

Resources mentioned in today’s podcast:


    • 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.
