For scores of people, a new year brings fresh hope – hope for new beginnings, new insights, new ideas, new opportunities, and new challenges. Many Christians face a new year with renewed vigor for spiritual growth. Even local churches (gatherings of Christians) long for refreshment and reform in the new year. Sadly, countless churches find themselves in decline and in desperate need of new life. In this first Hymn Talk of 2021, Zack welcomes Aaron Menikoff to discuss the topic of Church Revitalization. They consider the need and nature of Church Revitalization along with the hymn “Reformation Song” by Bob Kauflin and Tim Chester.

Aaron Menikoff is senior pastor of Mt. Vernon Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, and author of “Character Matters: Shepherding in the Fruit of the Spirit.” He is also founder of “Feed My Sheep,” an annual conference for pastors and church leaders in the Georgia.
