Speaker: Sean Demars

Summary:
In this Brainerd Conference session, Sean shares his journey of church revitalization at Sixth Avenue Community Church. Initially confident and equipped with years of ministry experience, he faced numerous challenges, from financial struggles to dealing with members' heretical beliefs and personal betrayals. Through these hardships, he discovered the profound lesson that true pastoral strength is found in embracing weakness, as highlighted in Second Corinthians 12. The session emphasizes the importance of relying on God's strength rather than personal abilities, urging pastors to be transparent with their faults and to trust in God's grace even amidst adversities.
