Chuck Lawless from the Church Answers team joins us to talk about an exciting new tool created by Southeastern Seminary. The Church Future Indicator is a free tool everyone will want to get ahold of. The tool is helpful and gives great insight into where your church is headed.Highlights: * A tool meant to be a motivator, not a discourager * The need for churches to face reality * The need for churches to have hope and solutions * Hint #1: The Primacy of Prayer * Hint #2: The Great Commission Is Still GreatOther Highlights: A church cannot turnaround until they are ready to face reality. The Church Future Indicator tool helps churches see hope for the future. Praying churches are led by praying pastors. It is a sin to be good when God has called us to be great. The Great Commission is still great.Resources mentioned in today's podcast: * Church Future Indicator * Pray and Go * Breakout Churches - Thom S.
