Hey Pastor,
What do you do when growth creates pressure—and not everyone’s ready for what’s next?
In this week’s episode of the Fly on the Wall Podcast, I sit down with Pastor Marty from a small but growing church in rural America to talk about one of the most practical leadership challenges we all face: how to manage change and mobilize volunteers when your systems are stretched to the limit.
We unpack the realities of increasing attendance, limited space, and a stretched team—and how to lead through those pain points with vision, structure, and confidence.
Here’s what we dive into in Episode 194:
- Why activity beats results when it comes to church growth
- How to shift your team from building teams to building tribes
- What invisible momentum really looks like—and how to create it
- How to expand your volunteer base in 90-day sprints
- What to do when your current culture is resisting your next level
If you’re feeling stuck between what’s working and what’s next, this conversation will give you the clarity and confidence to move forward without burning out or backing down.
