The Growth Principle Pastors Are Too Afraid to Apply
Why do some churches consistently break through growth barriers while others stay stuck at 500, 700, or 800 people—even when they're running more ministries and programs than ever before? The answer has nothing to do with how hard you're working and everything to do with three strategic shifts that most pastors are too afraid to make.
This episode walks you through three areas your church should obsess over if you want real growth, why your volunteers are burnt out (hint: it's not because they lack commitment), and the insider language trap that's keeping newcomers from ever coming back.
If you're a pastor or church leader who's tired of working harder but seeing the same results, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about breaking growth barriers. Fair warning: this framework requires you to make decisions that most pastors won't have the courage to make.

Three Questions That Will Transform Your End-of-Year Giving Campaigns
Why do some church giving campaigns dramatically outperform others while most fall flat—even when pastors faithfully mention them from the pulpit? The answer has nothing to do with how often you ask and everything to do with three strategic shifts that most churches completely miss. In this episode, I'm revealing the uncomfortable truth about why your end-of-year giving campaigns might be working against you, the one preparation step you should have started in January (but it's not too late), and the transparency principle that separates churches that constantly fundraise from churches that move freely on what God calls them to do. If you're heading into Giving Tuesday or year-end campaigns and want to see the kind of results that can only come from God, this episode will challenge how you've been thinking about generosity in your church. Fair warning: one of these three questions might make you rethink your entire approach.
