Hey Pastor,

Ninety percent of pastors surveyed are indicating that their churches are apathetic and indifferent about what's taking place in church today. They just don't care!

Nothing frustrates a pastor more than giving his best only to see the people who comprise the church tell him, "Hey, that was a good talk" and walk out the door.

There is a better way pastor and I want to help you press into this freedom and relief.

Even if you're not one of those churches that is dealing with the frustrations of apathetic people, you know there's more to offer and more they could be doing, if they cared just a bit more. So let's dive into it and see what might be possible!

I've written a resource that you can use to get you moving on some of this and I want for you to have it right now. You can find it right here!

Talk to you soon friend!

Kevin
