\nInflation will become a more serious challenge than most church leaders realize. In fact, inflationary pressures could very well be a once-in-a-generation challenge. Thom and Sam examine the "why" behind the new inflationary pressures, and the "what" our response should be.
\n1. Many church leaders and members have not been through a period of prolonged inflation.
\n2. Church giving, unfortunately, is often the first to be reduced or dropped.
\n3. What can the church eliminate without hurting its ministry?
\n4. Zero-based budgeting becomes more important than ever.
\n5. Now is the time to evaluate personnel costs.
