WOW! You are so wise! Thank you for chiming in and speaking from a broad and conciliatory perspective. How divine! Your kindness leads to repentence, i.e., you carefully and patiently responded to multiple voices and concerns resulting a game changing turn in the conversation. So I say it again: wow!
Dr. Bob Whitesel has been at the forefront of the Turnaround Church movement since it's inception.
Your consulting services and books are a great blessing to churches. Just talked to Pastor Gordon Banks at Overcomer Covenant Church (former New Heart in Federal Way) and the church continues to grow and reach the community. Your consulting services were the key to the church make over.
