The vast majority of churches are plateaued or declining, and Exponential CEO Dave Ferguson explains why most churches never grow, let alone multiply.
Plus, he shares the latest trends in church planting in this special episode recorded backstage at Exponential Global Conference in Orlando.

The Art of Leadership Academy
The reason most churches never grow, let alone multiply, is that leaders default to “no” instead of “yes.” That “no” default usually isn’t about courage. It’s about capacity. You don’t have a plan for the new thing. You don’t have a team ready. That’s exactly why I built the Art of Leadership Academy All-Access Membership.
Every course I’ve created—on preaching, leading volunteers, preventing burnout, building healthy teams, growing your church—all in one place. Plus, once a month, I jump on a live coaching call with you and our members to work through your questions together.

Subsplash
Church leaders are staring at AI with a mix of fascination and, let’s be honest, a fair amount of fear. But at Subsplash, they don’t see AI as a way to automate ministry, they see it as a way to accelerate it. The goal isn’t to replace the minister; it’s to remove the administrative noise that keeps ministry staff stuck behind their desks instead of being present with people.
It’s all about stewardship: helping church leaders lead the mission while Subsplash leads the technology.
