Church Boom

In Episode 174 of the Fly on the Wall Podcast, Chris Sonksen sits down with Pastor Hutson L Goza from Missouri to tackle a challenge so many pastors face: how to regain momentum when your church feels stuck.

Hudson leads an 89-year-old church with a deep legacy and a desire for renewal. Together, they unpack real frustrations—plateaued growth, volunteer droughts, cultural tension between generations—and most importantly, how to move forward with clarity and strategy.

If you’re in a season where you feel like you’ve hit a lid—or you’re navigating the push and pull of the old and the new—this episode is packed with insight, encouragement, and actionable advice.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
✅ The 2 most important metrics to monitor when momentum stalls
✅ How to create an invite culture that actually sticks
✅ What speed of engagement means and why it matters
✅ The tipping point percentage that can shift your church’s culture
✅ A simple, repeatable system to gain 60+ new volunteers in a year
✅ Why retention problems might be rooted in leadership gaps—and how to address them

Whether you’re leading a church that’s 89 years old or 8 months old, this conversation will help you refocus on what moves the mission forward—without burning out or giving up.
