Episode notes

The chapter explores the challenges faced by churches in navigating growth and fulfilling their missions, emphasizing the need to avoid common pitfalls. It discusses the series on 'stupid church tricks' to shed light on foolish practices that hinder church development, with an emphasis on multisite operations, church websites, and staffing issues. The speakers stress the importance of maintaining a unified vision and making tough staffing decisions for the benefit of the team and efficient resource management.

Pride can sometimes cause us to think that we won't make the same mistakes that others have made or that we can be the exception to the rule. We did this series because we hope that the church leaders who are listening will be willing to learn from the mistakes of others and not go down these paths.

In the final episode of our series, Tony and Amy discuss more miscellaneous stupid church tricks, like mistakes related to multisite, church websites, church buildings, and more.
