There are so many books about how to turn a lifeless church around. Most concentrate on the pastor’s role. But what about the role of the congregation members? In small churches, this is especially important.
I talk with Bud Brown about how to help the congregation become agents of life and hope in a dying church through the power of prayer, from the content of his book, Lifeless to New Life: Biblical prayers to resurrect the lifeless church, including:
- The importance of praying the evangelistic prayers of the New Testament
- Preparing the soil to receive a fresh vision
- How to help a congregation embrace deep transition, not just surface change
