005: The Best Way to Find Out Why People Aren’t Coming (& Why Your Assumptions are Probably Wrong)

When leaders in small churches are frustrated by lack of attendance at events or programs, phrases I hear a lot include: People at my church aren’t committed. They say they want programs and then they don’t show up. They’re too busy. They’re uncommitted. They just don’t care. When I ask ministry leaders how they know those things, they respond that if people were committed and cared, they would show up. I’d like to suggest that assumption isn’t always true - in fact, it’s usually wrong. We need to stop assuming and start asking better questions to get to the root of the issues. Join me in this episode to talk about …The 2 things every human craves & what we all have in commonThe singular best way to find out what’s really going onWhy people don’t always tell you the truth even if you ask (& how to change that)How to prepare your heart for the answersWhat feedback to listen to and how to make changesRESOURCES MENTIONEDSupport the showSUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!
