In this episode of The Unfair Advantage Podcast, host David Hibiske welcomes back Sean Sears, a seasoned church planter from New England. Sean shares his powerful journey of balancing ministry with family life, including the lessons he learned after nearly losing his marriage during the early years of church planting. He offers profound insights into finding identity in Christ rather than ministry success, setting boundaries to prioritize family, and building healthy leadership that reflects God’s love. This honest and vulnerable conversation is packed with wisdom for planters navigating the challenges of ministry, family, and personal growth.

Welcome to Episode 034 of The Unfair Advantage Podcast with David Hibiske.

WHO IS SEAN SEARS?

Sean and Billie started Grace Church with their spiritually disconnected neighbors in the Fall of 2005. They sent out their first church plant in 2009 when they were only running 85 people in weekly attendance. Grace Church has launched a total of 11 other churches with 3 more coming in the next 9 months. Last weekend, 3000+ people attended one of Grace Church’s 4 locations with no ethnic demographic larger than 45%.
