Church growth is exciting—but it also brings leadership challenges. Maybe you’re feeling the weight of too many decisions, struggling to keep up with relationships, or realizing that what worked in the past isn’t working anymore. You’re not alone—every growing church faces these moments. The real question is: How will you lead through it? 

In the latest episode of Church Leadership Podcast, John McGee, Dave Bruskas, and John Cox share insights on: 

✅ Why churches stall—and how to break through 

✅ How to delegate without losing control 

✅ The leadership shifts every growing church must make
