    Ep. 024 | Implement the DREAM Strategy | Brian Moss
    Jun 15 2025
    Pastor Brian Moss of Oak Ridge Church shares his proven DREAM framework that transformed a dying congregation of 30 into a thriving church with 101% small group participation over 25 years.
    Brian, a former computer engineer who didn't grow up in church, reveals how he developed a systematic approach to balance the five fundamental church purposes: worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and evangelism. He breaks down his DREAM acronym - Design services for lost people, Reach with the gospel, Engage in growth, Activate in ministry, and Mobilize for missions.
    Key topics include creating guest-friendly services without compromising the gospel, systematic discipleship through small groups, and why 80% of modern church practices are more cultural than biblical. Brian also addresses the comparison trap destroying pastors and offers practical encouragement for church leaders feeling overwhelmed.
    Perfect for pastors, church planters, denominational leaders, and anyone seeking a biblical framework for sustainable church health and growth.

    Ep. 23 | Text Based Preaching and Intentional Discipleship in Church Revitalization | Nathan and Bart
    Jun 4 2025
    Text Based Preaching and Intentional Discipleship in Church Revitalization Join hosts Bart Blair and Nathan Bryant as they explore two essential elements for successful church revitalization: text-driven preaching and intentional discipleship. Drawing from insights by Terry Long of the North Carolina Baptist Association, this episode reveals why these biblical foundations are game-changers for struggling churches.

    Key Topics:
    • Text-Driven Preaching: Learn the crucial difference between teaching and preaching, how to strategically choose Scripture passages for your church's specific needs, and why application matters more than information transfer.
    • Intentional Discipleship: Discover why discipleship doesn't happen by accident, how to create clear pathways for spiritual growth, and Jesus' proven model for developing mature followers.
    Nathan emphasizes that God's Word has transformative power when properly applied, while Bart shares his personal discipleship experience and the "laboratory vs. lecture" approach that accelerated his spiritual growth. Both hosts stress that church revitalization happens through heart transformation, not just methodology changes.
    Perfect for pastors, church leaders, and anyone passionate about seeing real life change in their congregation. This practical episode provides actionable strategies you can implement immediately to help your church move toward a healthy, fruitful future.

    Scripture Focus: Hebrews 4:12, 1 Corinthians 11:1, and the Great Commission's practical implications for modern discipleship.

    Building Healthy Churches: A Conversation with AJ Mathieu of The Malphurs Group
    In this episode, we sit down with AJ Mathieu from The Malphurs Group to discuss church revitalization, leadership development, and building healthy churches. Drawing from his decade of experience in ministry and the legacy of Dr. Aubrey Malphurs, AJ shares valuable insights on how churches can move from decline to vitality.
    Key Quote     "We can't make anybody change. And we tell every single church we work with, we will lead you through this with the greatest capability and resources we have. But we cannot make you do the work. You have to want it." - AJ Mathieu

    About Our Guest AJ Mathieu serves with The Malphurs Group, continuing the legacy of Dr. Aubrey Malphurs who was a professor at Dallas Theological Seminary for 35 years and authored 26 books. The organization focuses on church health, revitalization, and leadership development.

    Key Insights from the Episode
     On Church Assessment "Ninety to ninety-five percent of churches are plateaued or declining in the U.S. and then even more broadly speaking in the West."
     The Malphurs Group evaluates churches in four key areas:
    • Mission focus
    • Current values assessment
    • Discipleship pathway
    • Vision assessment

    Common Revitalization Mistakes     "There's an illusion that us meeting and talking about things and planning is actually doing the work and it's not."
     Key pitfalls to avoid:
    1. Over-relying on cosmetic changes
    2. Implementing changes too quickly
    3. Extended planning without action
    4. Insufficient relationship building

    On Building Leadership Teams     "We want it to be a positive group of people that all feel positively about the potential for the future of the church working together."
    Recommended characteristics for strategic leadership team members:
    • Ministry leaders (paid or volunteer)
    • Future-focused individuals
    • Active church participants
    • People with godly character
    • Those who respect church authority

    Final Encouragement     "No matter how alone you might feel in ministry, you're not. And there's people that want to see you thrive and they want to see you get back to that first vision you had... whenever God called you to ministry." - AJ Mathieu
    The episode emphasizes that while church revitalization is challenging, it's possible with the right approach, proper pacing, and adequate support. The key is being willing to do the work while maintaining hope and seeking help when needed.
