When Jimmy Scroggins became pastor of a once-thriving church in West Palm Beach, he found $3,700 dollars in the bank, a damaged-reputation, and a congregation with little hope. In this episode, host Dave Stone talks to Jimmy about how that church revived into a now thriving network of over 20 neighborhood congregations - each with its own lead pastor. We're talking church building, raising up leaders, and evangelism. You don't to miss this one!
