Bobby and Andrew discuss what steps you can take to take back control of your schedule, and make sure the main thing stays at the top!

What you believe about success and growth on the front end is a pretty good determiner of what you're going to see happen. In this episode, Pastor Bobby gives us 10 limiting beliefs that are common for church planters/leaders and then some practical steps to overcome those limiting beliefs.

Join us for the first episode of the Breaking Barriers Podcast. Pastor Andrew Hopper and Pastor Bobby Herrington of Mercy Hill Church in Greensboro, NC start the conversation around church growth. Church growth is demonized while sending and missions is praised—but both are necessary!
