You’ve probably never heard of a GRACE analysis. This tool developed by Ken Preddy provides a structure that you can use to develop a clearer picture of the most important areas in your church to address. More than just identifying pain points, the GRACE analysis looks at the whole life of your church and gives you an intentional way to move forward towards growth. Today, Matt is going to break down this idea for us and show us how Flourish leverages this type of analysis to support your church.

Discover the transformative power of grace analysis with us on the Church Renewal Podcast, where Ken Priddy's innovative tool sheds light on the emotional dynamics within churches. Joined by our insightful guest, Matt Bolling, we explore how understanding and addressing emotions like grief, reconciliation, and excitement can lead to healthier church environments. Learn how grace analysis provides a framework to tackle emotional challenges, particularly during transitions such as the departure of a long-term pastor, and the crucial role transitional pastors play in facilitating mourning and reconciliation. Through engaging stories, Matt highlights the pitfalls of poor communication, illustrating how distrust can arise within a congregation and how these issues can be rectified for a more cohesive community.

We also dive into the intersection of SWOT analysis with grace analysis, emphasizing the importance of transparency in confronting past issues, such as moral failures, to promote true healing. By bringing these issues to light, we foster trust and genuine transformation within the church. As we approach the final episode of our series, we're filled with gratitude for your support and excited to continue empowering churches through strategic insights and hope. Engage with us on social media, share our journey, and let’s prepare to conclude this chapter with renewed dedication to serving our community.
