Through journaling and life experience, Denny decided to write the book, Plan BE: Seven Be-Attitudes for walking with God in Complete Trust and Freedom. During this episode, you will also gain perspective on the value Denny receives from his Forum...the support he needed to write his book...and the "faith strengthening time" it provides him.

Warren Smith from Ministry Watch joins this episode to provide invaluable insights behind why they report on unfavorable activities of church pastors and more. "This is a season of refining the church." To do so it is going to be imperative that churches disarm the enemy by "being vulnerable, transparent, accountable, and repentant." As Ephesians 5:11 states, "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness." So tune in to discern the red flags and to learn practical ways to help your pastor (yourself, if this is you) and about what a healthy church board should look like. Warren Smith's bio.
