Can a single number really upend your church's priorities? Join me, Todd Rhoades, on the Healthy Church Staff Podcast as we explore the "size instinct" from Hans Rosling's transformative book, "Factfulness." Today, we unravel how our tendency to give undue importance to isolated numbers can distort our judgment, leading to misaligned priorities and overreactions. From fluctuating attendance figures to the lure of large donations, we'll dissect how to see beyond these immediate metrics and focus on what truly matters in ministry.
In this episode, we delve into practical strategies for overcoming the size instinct by placing numbers in their proper context and focusing on long-term faithfulness rather than short-term gains. Learn how holistic evaluation—considering the depth of engagement and quality of relationships—can provide a more accurate picture of your church's impact. I challenge you to shift your focus from mere numbers to the transformative work God is doing in your ministry. Join the conversation and let’s redefine success together.
