Doug Clay, District Superintendent of Ohio, shares a message about the cycles of life of a church and how to keep a church on an upward climb instead of the downside of a bell curve. He again emphasizes falling in love with your calling and ministry and utilizing the full and free gifts contained in God's word for building successful churches.

Lifecycles of a church

Doug Clay challenges us to get back to the Bible and get people reading "The Book" again and not be so dependent on electronic forms of media which do not encourage critical thinking.

Back to the Bible

Larry and Kris Scovil share their testimony about losing their ministry and almost their marriage, and how it was restored.

Recovery

Doug Clay talks to us about falling in love with your ministry calling all over again. Go back to the roots of your faith and remember when you responded to the call.
