As it relates to regional differences. This is very simple.
North Texas is nearly all Metropolitian. DFW itself is a huge geographic area.
The attitudes here, the pressures of life and the general culture are impacted by that reality.
East Texas is the exact opposite. It is rural. Even its towns/cities like Tyler, Jacksonville, Marshall, Lufkin etc are more rural-Texan.
so the things that make the church work there aren't the same things that make the church work in North Texas. Its just different.
by the way, all of this was also true about the California district that split into two districts. these are massive areas far from each other with different cultural drivers.
Both Cali districts have done better since the split.
South Texas district has also done well being separate.
