EP 055 | Jon Dupin on Finding Your Voice in the Fire

On this episode of The Unfair Advantage, host David Hibiske sits down with Jon Dupin for an open, reflective conversation on nearly 28 years of ministry, leadership transitions, and what it truly takes to build a lasting church. Jon shares the story of Waymaker Church’s humble beginnings, starting as an accidental revitalization with just six people, and traces the journey through periods of rapid growth, model shifts, and painful defining moments. Together, David and Jon discuss the reality of early-stage "copy and paste" leadership, the power of prayer and fasting during organizational crises, and how leaders can discern when a season is drawing to a close. Whether you are launching a new work, navigating mid-stage growth barriers, or preparing for long-term succession, this episode offers practical wisdom on staying faithful, avoiding leadership burnout, and discovering your God-given identity in the midst of ministry challenges. Welcome to Episode 055 of The Unfair Advantage Podcast with David Hibiske.
