📅 New episodes drop on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month!
In this episode of Stacking Chairs, Josh and Kyle sit down with veteran youth pastor Chris Bowles to tackle the problem of “winging it” on Wednesday nights. Chris unpacks how a clear, written strategy moves students from unreached guests to core disciples and keeps ministry healthy when staff transition. Drawing on decades of local church experience and new tools from Word of Life, he explains how intentional planning frees leaders from burnout, empowers volunteers, and delivers consistent discipleship long after any one pastor leaves.
Key Talking Points:
✅ Four levels of student growth – unreached, uncommitted, committed, core
✅ Personality driven ministry versus plan driven ministry
