Many churches struggle with growth because they’re waiting for the pastor to do what he doesn’t know how to do. If you’ve been praying, preaching, and planning, but your church is still stuck, this episode is for you.


Henry Tolbert breaks down three major mistakes that keep churches from growing and provides practical solutions that pastors can implement without burnout. Learn why your visitor retention system, leadership pipeline, and discipleship process could be the barriers holding your church back.


In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
✅ Why your church might be stuck at the same attendance level for years
✅ The hidden reason visitors come but don’t stay
✅ How to stop feeling overworked and close to burnout
✅ The power of a proven framework for church growth
✅ Steps to build sustainable systems that ensure long-term health


Three Key Mistakes Discussed:
1️⃣ No system for attracting and retaining visitors – Why praying for growth isn't enough if you’re not prepared for it
2️⃣ The pastor is doing everything – How to stop being the bottleneck and build a real leadership team
3️⃣ No clear discipleship & engagement path – Why you must define a journey for new believers and members
