Our world needs the church, like never before, to be full of hope. But the church is not always what it could be. Perhaps, we need a declutter. A clear-out. A detox.

Do you want your children to be actively serving in the local church when they turn 30 and beyond? Why They Stay can help!

Bruce Miller debunks the idea of balance - basically trying to have it all, all the time. Most churches and their pastors try to do everything at once and feel guilty if any one aspect (worship, ministries, outreach, etc.) is neglected.
