Most churches don’t plateau because of vision.
They plateau because of how they staff.

In this episode, Scott, Hunter, and Mark unpack the staff shift that determines whether your church stays stuck — or scales.
Every team has four types of staff members.
Only one type multiplies.

If you don’t know who’s who, you’ll build around the wrong people — and cap your growth without realizing it.

We break down:
- The 4 types of staff members every church has
- Why performance and culture are not the same thing
- The most dangerous person on your team
- How to turn potential into leadership
- When it’s time to make the hard call
- You don’t unlock growth by adding more programs.
- You unlock growth by building the right team.

Growth follows leadership. Leadership follows alignment.
