When Is It Time to Walk Away from a Revitalization Effort?

Today’s question and surrounding discussion is one we hear and take part in often. Maybe your warning signs come from family. Maybe it is due to your health. But possibly it is internal conflict outside of your control. Thom and Kevin discuss how to recognize when you have reached a line in the sand and walk away from a revitalization effort.

Reasons it may be time to walk away:

* When your family can't take it anymore.
* When your health is at risk.
* When the power players are entrenched.
* When the church needs a bivo pastor, but you do not have bivo call.
* When it's been too long trying.

Resources mentioned in today's podcast:





* Revitalize 2020
* Church Answers
* Revitalize Network Church of the Year Nomination













Revitalize & Replant is sponsored by the North American Mission Board and ChurchReplanters.com. More than 10% of churches in North America are at risk of closing and the North American Mission Board is committed to reversing this trend by decreasing the death rate of existing churches while simultaneously increasing the birth rate of new churches.
