In this episode, Josh Andrew breaks down why churches struggle to make disciples—not because of a lack of passion or preaching, but because their systems are not built to support real discipleship.

You’ll learn how to identify and fix the broken discipleship pipeline: Care → Connect → Conviction.

Josh shares practical strategies for pastors and church leaders to move people from attending to belonging, and from serving to multiplying.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why people come to church but don’t stay
• The difference between attendance and discipleship
• How to build a clear discipleship pathway in your church
• What “care” should look like before and after Sunday
• How to design connection that actually leads to relationships
• Why conviction is the missing piece in most churches
• The 7 systems every church needs to grow and scale
• How to create ownership, visibility, and accountability in your team

If you’re a pastor or church leader trying to build a healthy, growing church that actually makes disciples, this episode will give you a practical framework you can implement immediately.
