The One Thing 434 The spots in church life we think are fine … but are falling apart underneath
You’re seeing new people walk through the doors — but they’re not sticking. Or your small groups are full, but no one is stepping into service.
Many of us can point to a pathway on paper. What’s harder is spotting the places where people stall, and deciding what to change first.
In this episode, we look at how to identify the pressure points in your pathway and make wise, focused improvements that actually help people move towards mature, integrated discipleship.
In this conversation:
Why every church already has a pathway, even if it doesn’t feel clear
The most common blockages that slow people down
How to use outcomes, people, and programs to diagnose where your church is thriving — and where it’s stuck
Simple ways to track engagement and spot who isn’t connecting
How to prioritise change without trying to fix everything at once
Who should oversee the pathway, and how often it should be reviewed
