The One Thing 434 The spots in church life we think are fine … but are falling apart underneath
Every church has a pathway.
It might not be written down or planned, but it’s shaping how people move through our churches.
Derek Hanna and Scott Sanders talk about how to identify the weak spots in your church’s pathway — where people are getting stuck, and how leaders can bring clarity without turning ministry into mechanics.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
What we mean by a “pathway” in church life
Common blockages: front door, conversion, membership, and serving
Why pathways are about people before they’re about programs
How to decide where to start — and what not to fix first
Who should own pathway thinking in your church
A short listen for teams who want fewer people falling through the cracks, so more people grow to know and follow Jesus.
