Summary
The speaker encourages church leaders to consistently preach foundational truths to both new converts and maturing members, citing the example of teachers who repeat basic lessons year after year. He emphasizes that repetition is necessary for understanding, referencing Charles Finney's experience that a truth often needs to be preached multiple times to truly resonate. The ultimate goal is to use all available technology to reach the entire world with the message of the Full Gospel.
