Leaving Left Behind

Theology

“We live in a culture that has been beat up enough, and the church does not need to add to this. Mike Wilson provides a framework for an optimistic outlook that the Bible provides. The message of the church should be about hope, grace, and a positivity that produces a passion for progress. Mike’s emphasis on ‘grace-focused teaching’ is energizing. As he shares, ‘The goal of the church is not to separate from culture, but to shape it.’ Culture is best shaped through the optimistic message of redemption. Mike provides this message.”

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Malphurs and Penfold have de-mystified the church revitalization process without factoring out the necessary dependence on the Holy Spirit. They have provided principles and processes to follow. They have supplied evaluative tools for both the church and the pastor. And, most importantly, they have centered it all in Scripture and prayer. This will be a resource every pastor leading in a revitalizing effort will want to have.”
