178 | What Should Really Be on Your To-Do List?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you spending your time doing what actually moves the mission forward—or just what needs to get done?
In Episode 178 of the Fly on the Wall podcast, I sit down with my friend Scott to talk about one of the most important leadership principles we teach: Mission Critical.
What is it? It’s the few things that only you can do—the ones that, if you don’t, your church’s future is at risk.
In this episode, we unpack:
✅ The one question every leader should ask: “If I don’t do ___, our future is threatened.”
✅ Why 70% of your time should be focused in just 3–4 mission-critical lanes
✅ How to eliminate, delegate, or automate everything else
✅ The difference between giving away tasks vs. giving away authority
✅ Why leaders who won’t let go accidentally create the lid on their church
This is a coaching conversation every pastor needs—especially if you're growing, plateauing, or feeling pulled in a thousand directions.
