EP 053 | Why Working Harder Isn’t Fixing the Friction in Your Church Plant with Wayne Cordeiro

What do you do when the system that got you here is the very thing preventing you from getting there? In this episode of The Unfair Advantage, host David Hibiske sits down with veteran church planter, author, and college president Pastor Wayne Cordeiro for an incredibly candid look at the lifecycle of a growing church. Wayne pulls from decades of experience planting New Hope Oahu and leading global ministries to unpack the hidden traps of early-stage ministry. Together, they explore the critical shift from organic momentum to structured scalability, how to correctly assess the specific "pain levels" in your organization, and why a leader's refusal to transition from doing ministry to developing people will eventually bottleneck everything. If you are a church planter trying to figure out if your current organizational friction is a spiritual battle or just a bad structure, this episode delivers a blueprint for building a sustainable foundation.
