ReBorn

Weather reports from 2009 and frequent updates about sciatic pain are at the crux of this book. It also contains the story of a successful church relaunch and the principles to help guide an organization through a major transition or relaunch. ReBorn is the idea that a church can be born again. Regardless of how dead and dormant it may seem. The same power that resurrected Christ from the grave is available to bring life back to existing, declining, or dead churches. ReBorn contains the stories, principles, and strategy to empower leaders to believe again, breath again, and begin again.

ReBorn was written to inspire leaders to believe in the local church again. And to not only believe in the local church, but also to believe that God can breath the breathe of life into any church regardless of its current condition. What is ReBorn? It’s the belief that by the Spirit of God both people and churches can be born again. Being born again means we are fundamentally changed from the inside out. What happened in our lives as believers when we believed the promises of God through faith and became recipients of his sovereign grace and were transformed by the Holy Spirit is possible in a church as well. ReBorn is the belief that God can call a leader to believe that anything is possible, the belief that God can breath into any situation regardless of how dead or lifeless it seems, and the belief that by the Holy Spirit every church can begin to grow again. It begins with an understanding that God’s heart is for his house. That he believes in his church and it’s the central part of the universe he created. ReBorn is the understanding that no church can stay stagnated if it has a leader with vision and passion. ReBorn is the belief that greater things are possible if we only believe in God and in his church. ReBorn is the passion to be disturbed by the condition of the local church. And lastly, ReBorn is the courage to do something about it.
