Imagine, Pastor, a parent being able to say to an estranged older child,“I love you”... an adult daughter offering forgiveness to her father for abuse... people taking time to encourage and affirm each other... a young person stepping across the line of faith as they embrace eternity.		LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING™ is a 30-day church-wide campaign, inspired by the Grammy® award-winning song recorded by Tim McGraw that has touched millions with its evocative imagery. Live Like You Were Dying is unique because it creates turning-point moments by causing thoughtful reflection on what really matters. It combines an award-winning song that touches our deepest longing for meaning, with the timeless truths of God’s Word in a learning experience for the whole church. A 30-day emphasis works because it involves everyone and builds momentum through multiple reinforcements. The campaign includes several different elements to challenge people each day of the week. Many pastors have discovered that an annual campaign that unites the church has significant benefits for building a stronger sense of community within the congregation. ........................................................................................................
