What keeps a church growing after the excitement of planting it begins to fade? More programs? Better events? A bigger team? Or could the secret be something much simpler?
The direction of a church is shaped by what consistently gets its attention. And when evangelism stays visible, believers are far more likely to notice the people around them who don’t yet know Jesus.
In this episode of The Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom shares her workshop from Exponential on the secret to growth after planting a church. Her challenge to leaders is simple: if you want people to notice those who don't yet know Jesus, you have to intentionally help them look.
But creating a culture of evangelism isn't about putting more pressure on already busy Christians or launching another program. Tina explores practical principles that can help make sharing Jesus feel like normal Christianity again: from giving people simple, achievable actions and telling more stories of everyday faith conversations, to changing what churches measure and celebrating every small step someone takes towards Jesus. Whether you're leading a new church, an established congregation or simply want to become more intentional about sharing your own faith, this episode will challenge you to consider what you're focusing on and where that focus is taking you.

The Secret to Church Growth After You Plant with Tina Waldrom

What if growing in evangelism started with three simple prayers: God, open a door. Open their heart. Open my mouth.
Prayer, pioneering & evangelism belong together. Sometimes sharing Jesus begins not with having the perfect strategy, but with recognising where God is already moving and having the courage to join Him.
In this episode of The Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom talks with Jessie Skelly from PAIS Australia about what it means to pioneer new opportunities for the gospel, particularly among the next generation. From praying outside school gates to discovering “people of peace” and equipping young Christians to share Jesus with their friends, Jessie shares powerful stories of what can happen when ordinary believers stop trying to make everything happen themselves and start looking for where God is already at work.
This conversation is also a challenge to get out of the boat and have a go. You'll hear why today's pioneering evangelism needs prayer, creativity and fresh approaches, how fear can stop us before a conversation even begins, and why we shouldn't decide in advance who will or won't respond to Jesus. If you want your evangelism to become more prayerful, courageous and dependent on the Holy Spirit, this episode will encourage you to pray for an open door and then be ready to walk through it.

What if growing in evangelism started with three simple prayers: God, open a door. Open their heart. Open my mouth.
Prayer, pioneering &amp; evangelism belong together. Sometimes sharing Jesus begins not with having the perfect strategy, but with recognising where God is already moving and having the courage to join Him.
In this episode of The Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom talks with Jessie Skelly from PAIS Australia about what it means to pioneer new opportunities for the gospel, particularly among the next generation. From praying outside school gates to discovering “people of peace” and equipping young Christians to share Jesus with their friends, Jessie shares powerful stories of what can happen when ordinary believers stop trying to make everything happen themselves and start looking for where God is already at work.
This conversation is also a challenge to get out of the boat and have a go. You'll hear why today's pioneering evangelism needs prayer, creativity and fresh approaches, how fear can stop us before a conversation even begins, and why we shouldn't decide in advance who will or won't respond to Jesus. If you want your evangelism to become more prayerful, courageous and dependent on the Holy Spirit, this episode will encourage you to pray for an open door and then be ready to walk through it.
