In Episode 172 of the Fly on the Wall Podcast, Chris Sonksen sits down with Pastor Travis for a conversation every church leader needs to hear: how to identify and address leadership blind spots before they cost you momentum, people, or growth.

Blind spots aren’t just about personal habits—they show up in our team dynamics, our leadership style, and the decisions we avoid making. But the good news? With the right perspective, you can catch them early and lead with greater clarity and confidence.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

How to spot blind spots in yourself and your team

Why some churches plateau—and how to make changes before that happens

How to have the tough conversations that create real alignment

What Gen Z is looking for in a church (and how to prepare for the future)

Why entrepreneurial thinking is becoming essential in church leadership

If you want to lead with greater insight and avoid the traps that keep churches stuck, this episode is for you.
