Description

  • We unpack findings from a recent survey of 84 churches across 10 denominations. The data is more encouraging than many expect — but it also exposes where momentum slows and why some churches see more people come to faith than others.

    We explore what’s genuinely helping people meet Jesus, what isn’t moving the needle, and where churches may be mistaking activity for mission.

    In this conversation:

    • Why church plants are seeing disproportionate fruit — and what established churches can learn

    • Why growth often stalls between 200–400 people, and what helps churches push through

    • Why adding more small groups or serving roles doesn’t automatically lead to more conversions

    • How church size, more than church age, can quietly dampen evangelistic effectiveness

    • The real stories behind the data: who is coming to church and coming to faith
