Erin and Doug talk through the topic of church growth and how to navigate it without losing sight of the church's vision and mission. They discuss the importance of not being afraid of growth and the need to innovate and focus on relational ministry. They caution against reverting to old strategies and highlight the need for personal mission statements aligned with the Great Commission. The epsiode is all about the challenges of growth, the importance of evaluation and pruning, and the need for an aligned true north for the church.Thanks for listening to this episode of the Intentional Churches podcast!Intentional Churches: Website: https://intentionalchurches.com       The Book: https://a.co/d/hFlz17C     The Blog: https://intentionalchurches.com/blog/      YouTube: www.youtube.com/@IntentionalChurches      Facebook: https://facebook.com/intentionalchurches       LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/intentional-churches/mycompany/      Instagram: https://instagram.com/IntentionalChurches     X/Twitter: https://x.com/intentchurchesChapters:00:00 Introduction and Setting the Context01:42 Observations on Church Growth09:26 Avoiding Mission Drift14:42 Fighting the Inward Pull and Getting Back to Basics21:24 Inviting Others for Evaluation and Reflection24:01 Embracing the Dynamic Nature of God's Work25:56 Celebrating Growth and Listening to God's Direction
