In this episode, we rank the most common church growth advice out there, from genuinely effective to advice that should probably be retired for good. We look at real numbers behind kids and student ministry investment, home-based small groups, the attractional preaching model, multi-site campuses, and whether strong leadership is really the deciding factor in growth.\nThis episode is for pastors and church leaders who are tired of copying what worked somewhere else and want to figure out what actually fits their own church and community. Along the way we talk honestly about the strategies that get oversold, the ones that quietly work, and the mindset shift that matters more than any single tactic.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/hHdpkz1SiJM4WlhNoYGKcmhnGyoIBO0rdJ04HJvirJo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yZjBm/ZjRkMGRiMGRhNmQ0/YmE1ZTU5ZWFhNTUz/ODA2Ni5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
