This applies to the problem solving needed to fix the immediate situation, but it also can help you get creative with underlying issues, like Gracepoint's decision to try something new with their stage placement. Be humble. Most people like being self reliant and independent, but when trouble hits be willing to ask for help and let people know what you need. Be realistic. Any time there are major changes - even if they're caused by an unexpected disaster - there will be people who decide to leave. Remember to be realistic in times of transition. Realistic about your congregation and where they're at, and realistic about the resources you will need to move forward. Find the full transcript for this session of the Pro Church Podcast at

Good but....
I love this podcast it has a lot of great content and is very helpful. However the fact that it takes 7-10 minutes to get to that content drives me nuts. I understand updating the fan base on what happening and doing sponsorship ads but I'd rather have short interruptions in the content then 7 full minutes of that I often skip. I also hesitate to share the podcast because i know most people I would be sending it to just want to get to the content. I still love the podcast and listen every week but I very much dislike the long "intro"
