Part 3 of 3: Elephants in the Room in Revitalization – “I Overestimated My Leadership Ability, but I am Afraid to Admit It”

Mark and Thom look at some of the unspoken but very real issues in church revitalization. They confront the reality of the issue and then offer a pathway to deal with it. In this third of three episodes, they examine the challenge of realizing you aren’t the leader you thought you were.

• Confession is good, but be wise who hears your confession.

• Make certain you are certain about your own shortfalls.

• Consider it a possibility that you are in the wrong seat on the bus.

• Get a trustworthy coach.

• Take a break before you make a dramatic decision.
