When the energy, resources of a congregation have declined to a critical point, shame and blame often rear their ugly heads and morale sinks. People often think their only option is to cease operations – to close their doors. However, these conditions can hinder them from seeing other options – creative options. Hopeful options. Options in line with their purpose and mission as a community of faith.
In this episode titled, “Know Your Options for a Future with Hope,” Rev. Dr. Todd Yonkman, shares wisdom from his own experience about the details of some of these options and how they give authentic hope.
