What happens when people do not leave Christ or the faith; they simply leave you and your church? I want to address why this is so painful and then give some counsel about how to respond.

Worth a listen.
New Episode: “When a Church Doesn’t Revitalize”
What happens when you do everything you know to do in revitalization… and the church still doesn’t turn?
In this Trench Talk episode, Brian Croft and Jim Savastio interview Sean Corser about:
Starting with a few people and 9–12 months of runway
Seeing real fruit—new families, kids, community outreach
Facing entrenched control, scheming, and a public conflict
Walking through discipline, resignation, and family fallout
Why Sean can still say, “It’s worth it.”
🎧 Pastor, if you’re discouraged in a hard church or failed revitalization, this one is for you.

Listened to this one today. A sub thread, and perhaps the more important aspect was how to lament when the sadness of ministry hits.
Great episode!
Pastor, give this a listen 🎧
