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.
