Dr. Chuck Lawless currently serves as the Professor of Evangelism and Missions and Dean of Graduate Studies at Southeastern Seminary. In addition to his teaching and work at the International Missions Board, Dr. Lawless works with churches as a consultant. He recently shared his thoughts and experiences after ten years as a consultant on Thom Rainer’s blog. Here are a few of his thoughts:
“Churches often wait too long to address decline.
Prayer in unhealthy churches is reactive rather than proactive.
In most churches, somebody wants the congregation to make an eternal difference.”
In this episode of Ministry Briefing, we look at the ten biggest things that Chuck thinks your church needs to understand, and share our thoughts on them.
We’d love to hear YOUR thoughts and experiences with churches… What would YOU add?

Todd, I so wish you could post transcripts. Many times I’m not in a position to listen to videos.
