Stan and the guys discuss the importance of remaining mission focused and intentional, particularly in light of all the distractions currently swirling in modern day church world. 

The Bible is filled with warning about how prosperity causes us to forget about God. As America faces a more prosperous future the church needs to continually remind its flock that God is our provider and the one in whom we can trust.
