Pastor Mike Rubino of Cornerstone Bible Church on Long Island joins us to share his story of revitalization outside the Bible Belt.
Episode Highlights:
- Pastors often find that one of the biggest obstacles to church revitalization is themselves.
- Church revitalization cannot occur without prayerful dependence on God.
- Reaching people outside the Bible Belt is the same as inside the Bible Belt: meet people where they are in minister within your local context.
- Pastors need compassion for the people they serve.
- In church revitalization, you need to expect that conflict will come.
