                <itunes:summary>In today’s church culture, numbers often define success. But does a growing church automatically mean a healthy church? In this episode, we dive into the difference between church growth and church health, unpacking why spiritual formation, discipleship, and biblical depth matter more than attendance numbers.

We’ll explore:

✅ The biblical perspective on growth vs. health (Revelation 3:1, Acts 2:42-47, Matthew 28:19-20)

✅ The danger of chasing numbers over making disciples

✅ Signs of a healthy church vs. an unhealthy church

✅ How to cultivate true church health while still fostering growth



📖 “I know your works; you have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead.” – Revelation 3:1

Does your church focus on depth or just width? Let’s talk about it. 🎙️
