Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss some ways to diagnose whether your church is ready to enter into a season of revitalization and renewal:

1. Hearts that are humble – “This is the Lord’s church, not ours.”
2. Desire to reach the community with the gospel – “This is our mission and mission field.”
3. Commitment to submit to the Bible – “The Word of God is our authority.”
4. Willingness to take risks and do whatever it takes – “We are desperate to see God move here.”
5. Belief that God can actually revitalize dying churches – “God isn’t done with us.”
