The Unstuck Church Podcast with Amy Anderson

Every quarter, The Unstuck Group compiles all the data we’ve collected to monitor trends in churches in the United States. For this Q4 2023 report, we are specifically focusing on trends in multisite churches.

In this episode, Tony and Amy break down new data on multisite churches and explain why some multisite strategies succeed and others fail.

Do you wish your church could have more financial margin for ministry? Are your people struggling with debt and low giving? In this episode of The Unstuck Church Podcast, Sean interviews George Kamel from Ramsey Solutions about how Financial Peace University is helping churches break free from financial stress.

We’re shooting straight with these questions. Why are so few churchgoers tithing regularly? How is debt truly impacting healthy church growth, and what are practical ways church leaders can start transforming their church’s financial health today?

George shares some remarkable statistics about how FPU is increasing per-donor giving in churches while helping congregations get serious about biblical stewardship. If money was one of Jesus' most discussed topics, it should probably tell us something.

If you’re tired of avoiding money conversations in your church, this episode is for you.

Unstuck churches never stop looking to improve their weekend experiences. Tony and Amy discuss why it's important to provide compelling and memorable services every single week.

In the weeds. That's where many senior pastors live. It's not usually a pride issue -- more a question of role clarity. Tony and Amy discuss the three roles only the senior pastor can do for a church, and why you should give yourself permission to delegate everything else.

If you’re a pastor who wants your preaching to be more innovative, applicable, and effective—this new series is for you. Over the next four weeks, we'll be joined by some friends to hear their insights on Preaching Best Practices, including:

> Brian Tome from Crossroads Church

> Andy Stanley from North Point Ministries

> Derwin Gray from Transformation Church

> Rick Warren from Saddleback Church
