Scaling Up: Ministry Capacity for All Sizes

Kamala Harris

In a shorter episode of the Shock Absorber podcast, Stu and Joel dive into a range of insightful questions about how Soul Revival approaches ministry.

They explore the dynamics of different congregation sizes, discuss the language used to describe them, and the importance of targeting your base effectively before expanding.

They also chat about Stu's 13 years of church planting experience, reflecting on the pitfalls they've encountered, including the challenges of balancing tradition with modern cultural adaptation. The conversation touches on the use of the Bible as a grounding reference point and the lessons learned from trying to launch multiple gatherings simultaneously.

They also emphasise the value of iterative design, where setbacks are seen as learning opportunities rather than failures, and the difficulty in knowing when to persist or pivot.
