Welcome to the Carrie Newhoff Leadership Podcast. A podcast all about leadership, change and personal growth.

The goal, to help you lead like never before.

In your church or in your business.

And now your host, Carrie Newhoff.

Well, hey everybody, and welcome to episode six of the podcast. My name is Carrie Newhoff. I'm so glad that you're here and we are six episodes in now and today's guest is Tony Morgan. We're going to get to that in just a couple of minutes. Tony is a brilliant thinker and somebody I've known for a couple

of years. He's helped us out at my church, Connexis Church, North of Toronto, Canada.

And we sat down about a month or two ago to do an interview and it was really supposed to all

be about teams and we were going to talk about your team and what's a good hire

not a good hire how do you work with volunteers and then when we finished the

interview and I kind of went back and

listen to it again preparing for this episode, I realized that something really cool happened.

It's very much about your teams and what do you do when you don't have the right people

and how do you get the right people and who are the right people but it actually throughout the interview

Tony kept talking about growth and

Clearly one of the problems that a lot of churches have in learning how to grow their

churches how to get the right team or even a position themselves if you're a

leader on that team to accommodate growth. So really this this has turned out to

be an interview and an episode that's really all about growth.

And what's really cool is often we go to conferences and seminars and you hear these guys, well our church

just started with three people and a month later it was 10,000 and you're like well that'll never happen or at least it hasn't happened

Tony's just got so much real world experience this kind of works whether you have a church of 20 people and you're trying to see 30 people or you're trying to figure out how to prepare to reach 200 or he works with a lot of mid-sized churches. So if you're maybe 400 trying to reach 600, what changes do you need to make?

And Tony's had a lot of experience at like New Spring Church and Granger Church.
