You’re doing the work. Preaching your heart out. Leading your team. Pouring into your people.
But if your first-time guest numbers are low, you may be fighting a quiet drift—and growth can stall before you even realize it.
That’s why we’re bringing back one of the most listened-to episodes of the entire year on the Fly on the Wall Podcast. In Episode 181, I sit down with my friend Jason Norman to talk about one of the most vital ingredients in church growth: invite culture.
This episode struck a chord with pastors everywhere because it gets painfully practical about what really fuels momentum in a church.
We break down:
✅ The real numbers you should be hitting with first-time guests
✅ Why new blood is the key to more new blood
✅ The 9-month window most guests bring someone—then stop
✅ How one church uses a Harley-Davidson-inspired bell to celebrate first-time guests
✅ A simple strategy to track and celebrate who’s actually inviting
If you’re serious about growing your church (not just maintaining what you’ve got), this episode is a must-listen.
