    S1E005 - Tyranny of the Urgent | What to Do When There’s More to Do Than You Can Do

    We all feel this, whether you're in the church or not—the tyranny of the urgent often overtakes the plan that you had for the day. Or even worse, if you didn't have a plan to begin with. Bobby and Andrew discuss what steps you can take to take back control of your schedule, and make sure the main thing stays at the top!

    S1E004 - 10 Limiting Beliefs Hindering Your Leadership and Growth

    S1E004 - 10 Limiting Beliefs Hindering Your Leadership and Growth

    Limiting beliefs can keep us from stepping out and doing big things. Let's be honest... its HARD to start something, or shift the direction on something without knowing what the outcome will be! What you believe about success and growth on the front end is a pretty good determiner of what you're going to see happen. In this episode, Pastor Bobby gives us 10 limiting beliefs that are common for church planters/leaders and then some practical steps to overcome those limiting beliefs.

Growing and Going

I love this stuff! Pastor Andrew and Pastor Bobby are such great communicators and leaders. I’m blessed to be a part of the ministry at Mercy Hill and get the inside scoop on everything Breaking Barriers. Super helpful and practical information from some local pastors that can actually understand what it’s like to want your church to grow but be met with negativity.

You can’t get higher caliber leaders than Andrew and Bobby.

I went to the conference and I can’t get enough of this. If you want to see the kingdom of God moving forward they you need to have an eye on growing your church.

These guys are writing the book on this stuff.
