What if the key to church growth isn’t doing more ministry yourself, but empowering others to step in?
In this episode, Dr. Eric Bryant sits down with prolific author and researcher Warren Bird to discuss the surprising trends in post-pandemic church health, the shift from attendance to attachment, and why the future of ministry depends on raising up the next generation of leaders.
Warren shares insights from his latest book Becoming a Future Ready Church and unpacks practical wisdom about breaking growth barriers, building diverse communities, and why your communication skills matter more than you think.
Whether you’re leading a church of 50 or 5,000, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to think differently about what success really looks like.
