196 | Breaking Growth Barriers—and Healing Leadership Pain
Tuesday, 13 January, 2026
What do you do when your church feels stuck—and your heart feels tired?In Episode 196 of the Fly on the Wall Podcast, I sit down with my good friend David Espinoza for a powerful and honest coaching conversation that hits two realities every long-term leader eventually faces: breaking through growth barriers and dealing with the pain that comes with leadership.David pastors a nearly 100-year-old church and has faithfully led through decades of consistency—but like many leaders, he’s asking the right question: What has to change if we’re going to move forward?In this episode, we talk through:Why what got you to 600 won’t get you to 1,000The leadership shifts required to break growth ceilingsMoving from pastor-led to team- and system-led leadershipThe importance of mid-level leaders and defined pathwaysHow to heal from betrayal, forgive well, and keep your focus on your courtWhy delayed conflict always costs more in the endHow obedience—not balance—protects your calling long-termThis conversation is both strategic and deeply pastoral. If you’re carrying the weight of leadership, navigating growth tension, or working through pain you didn’t ask for, this episode will meet you right where you are.🎧 Listen to Episode 196 now and sit in on this live coaching session.And if you’re hungry to grow as a leader, be sure to check out everything available at churchboom.org—from coaching to community to leadership development.
