132: Church Growth & The Comparison Trap | with Cledra Gross
Comparing numbers seems unavoidable in church ministry. For those of us in small churches, comparison can leave us feeling defeated.
Today’s guest shares why numbers are not the end of the story and often send people in directions that are not based on biblical truth.
Join the conversation with ministry leader Cledra Gross as she unpacks a bit of her journey from a big church to a small church and the comparison trap ministry leaders fall into.
Listen in to hear:
- How comparison is normal, but it doesn’t need to be negative
- Ways to recognize that you’re doing great ministry even if numbers don’t reflect your success
- The benefits of holding church in a middle school and not having your own building
- Why it’s important to recognize the theme of lack that accompanies comparison and how to change the narrative
