Why Your Church Isn't Growing (And What to Do About It)

The hard truth: what's holding back your church is probably between your two ears.

This conversation gets uncomfortable. We talk about why growth stalls, why some pastors waste time with the wrong people, and how to prioritize ruthlessly. Jared's had prophetic words about a large church, but right now he's stuck. The answer isn't working harder—it's working smarter.

We cover the ABC priority system that can restructure your whole week. Why you should never start a house church in your own home. How to use YouTube as a tool to strengthen community, not just advertise. The power of prayer walking when you're actually trying to meet people, not just blessing houses. And why making a big deal out of Easter and Christmas isn't sell-out attractional—it's strategic.

If you're thinking about quitting, listen to this first. Growth happens when you stop doing churchy things that don't matter and start doing the few things that do.

We end with homework: make an action plan. What did the Spirit say to you? What are you going to do about it? How can someone help?
