Why is it that lots of churches and their leaders work hard and pray fervently for a better future, yet never seem to get anywhere?

But attitudes can change, and leaders who have an understanding of the anatomy of an attitude can help congregants reconsider and revise them. (Photo: Garry Knight, Creative Commons)
