In this episode, Mike and Will explore Harold Burchett's "Healing for the Church," dissecting why traditional churches resist change despite declining impact. They humorously describe "old-timey churches" with their rigid traditions before unpacking Burchett's principles for revitalization including "steady investment produces steady growth" and "let the dead bury the dead" - investing in spiritually vibrant members rather than maintaining traditions. They contrast unhealthy one-man leadership with biblical eldership that develops men as leaders, and conclude by applying Colossians 3's "put off/put on" imagery to church renewal, emphasizing that transformation requires constant choice and action.----------------------------------------------------------Subscribe to Harvest PA Podcasts so you never miss another episode -https://bit.ly/HarvestPodcastSubWant your question featured on a future episode?
