    The Five Reasons Church Building Projects Fail – How to Lead Yours to the Finish Line Apr 22, 2026
    Show notes

    Jess and Sam talk with Mike Stadelmayer at Church Growth Services. Church building projects carry tremendous ministry potential—but many stall, scale back, or never happen. The difference between success and frustration often comes down to the following critical factors:

      1. Adopting Unrealistic Timelines
      2. Planning without Financial Clarity
      3. Waiting Too Long Between Projects
      4. Trying to Go It Alone
      5. Making the Focus Buildings (and Money)
