Why Church Plants Sometimes Go Wrong - Dan Steel

This talk presents findings from a research study examining 80 failed or struggling church plants across 27 countries. We explore key lessons for planting healthier churches—and equipping healthier planters—that are more likely to thrive long-term. The discussion addresses 7 common challenges both within and outside church plants, including the critical role of character and godliness, the reality of opposition, the personal cost to families, and the pressure of a success-driven culture that often leaves planters unprepared for the challenges ahead.
