Episode Details

In this episode, we explore realistic 1–2 year objectives for small-church revitalization—practical steps that can create lasting momentum without overwhelming your congregation. We unpack three key priorities:

1. 1. Presence, by launching a quarterly outreach emphasis to build visibility in your community.
   2. Power, by uniting your church through an intentional prayer focus woven into worship.
   3. Precision, by concentrating efforts on one or two strategic community hubs where families already gather, such as local schools.

Rev. Chad Brooks rejoins the show with Josh and Sam to discuss how these focused, attainable goals can help small churches make meaningful progress while laying a foundation for long-term health and growth.
