If your church is over 1,000 in attendance, you're just too big to run on relationships.

At some point, the way you've always led stops scaling—not because relationships don't matter (they do) but because the ministry is now carrying more complexit... more

As a church getting ready to go multisite, you might know who you are, have the right people and have a clear, documented model.

But at some point, going multisite really comes down to this: Can you fund it, and can you deliver it?

Can you actu... more

A multisite model that's too complex can't be multiplied ... and a model that is only captured in your head can't be handed off.

To go multisite, you need something clear enough to repeat and captured well enough to share.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q2 2026 Unstuck Church Report - Episode 454
Q: What should churches do differently when approaching worship staffing given its high difficulty?
Decide which of the three core needs (musician, pastor, team builder) is non-negotiable, develop or coach the other two instead of chasing a unicorn, consider contract musicians to fill gaps, and prioritize homegrown talent where possible to avoid panic hires.
Q2 2026 Unstuck Church Report - Episode 454
Q: Todd, what is driving the gap that a third of churches say they can't find qualified candidates?
Often the definition of 'qualified' has expanded to include 10–12 must-haves, while the actual role only needs 4–5, and the hiring process is too slow, allowing top candidates to accept other offers while churches deliberate.
How Fountain City Church Navigated Structure and Growth Challenges: Interview With Donny Wadley - Episode 446
Q: What changes had the biggest impact after the two-day planning?
Shifting to a more formalized next-steps structure, clarifying staffing alignment, and creating dedicated leadership roles allowed them to move beyond planning to execution, significantly increasing engagement and baptisms.
How Fountain City Church Navigated Structure and Growth Challenges: Interview With Donny Wadley - Episode 446
Q: What surprised you during the health assessment?
They discovered they were not measuring several key health indicators as well as they thought, revealing gaps between perceived and actual health, which changed their approach to metrics and planning.
How Fountain City Church Navigated Structure and Growth Challenges: Interview With Donny Wadley - Episode 446
Q: What was going on at Fountain City that made you seek help in 2022?
They were growing and hosting many guests, but the back door was as wide as the front—people weren't staying long enough or being effectively connected. Donny wanted outside perspective to diagnose issues and propose actionable changes.
