Fly on the Wall Podcast With Chris Sonksen

178 | What Should Really Be on Your To-Do List?

Church Boom

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.
