Summary

77% of pastors say their number one need is more leaders. But the most common strategy for solving it, the leadership pipeline, has never actually worked. David Ashcraft knows this firsthand: he grew LCBC Church from a 200-person plant in Pennsylvania to 25 locations and 28,000 weekend attendees, developing 275 of his 300 staff members from within the congregation. His secret wasn't a pipeline. It was a culture.
