Podcast Episode #085

In this final podcast episode of 2014, we cover a number of topics thanks to the listener questions that have been submitted over the past few months. Remember, if you have a question you'd like to have answered on a podcast, you can submit in the form at the bottom of the podcast page.

Some highlights from this week’s episode include:

* When considering rebranding a church ask: "What is the gain?" and "What is the cost?"

* Church membership is a voluntary activity, and you need to be careful overstepping that volunteer aspect.

* The steps for church revitalization should be fully contextual.

* When you have less-frequent business meetings, you tend to cover more substantive items during them.

* The first thing dying churches must do is to face reality.
