No church should die, but some will die. What if God calls you to a church that just isn’t going to make it? Josh and Sam discuss how pastors can shepherd dying churches. Miracles still happen! If God can save any person, He can save any church.

• • What if the church doesn’t die?
  • How do you prepare emotionally and spiritually to lead a dying congregation?
  • How do you overcome the “wasted time” perspective and keep a healthy mindset?
  • How long should you commit?

Episode Sponsors:

• • You’ve been in ministry long enough to spot both the obstacles and the opportunities facing your congregation. 
  • There must be solutions, but how do you find them? 
  • If you are the ministry leader called to champion these issues, Southern Seminary has a problem-solving degree that will guide you to the answers.
