Over Breaking Barriers

We’re here to help pastors and churches grow so that they can go. Churches can grow without going, but they can’t go without growing. Do you ever feel like church growth and sending is an uphill battle? You’re not alone, many leaders face common barriers that hinder mission success. At Breaking Barriers, we understand these challenges because we’ve been there. Now, we are on a mission to guide churches and leaders like you with Biblical strategies to help your church grow to go. Join Pastors Andrew Hopper and Bobby Herrington from Mercy Hill Church in Greensboro, NC.

E116 - The 4 Keys to Operational Alignment in Your Church (Part 2)

Most churches have a clear vision at the top — but somewhere between the lead pastor and the kids volunteer, that vision gets lost. In this episode of Breaking Barriers, we dig into operational alignment: what it means for every ministry team — not just senior leadership — to know exactly why they exist, what their plan is, and how their work fuels the overall mission of the church. We walk through a four-part framework covering team vision, structure, metrics, and meetings, and share real examples from how Mercy Hill Church puts this into practice. Whether you're an executive pastor, a ministry director, or a church planter trying to scale, this episode will give you the language and the tools to stop the sideways energy and get everyone rowing in the right direction.

aflevering E114 - Why Every Church Has a Brand (And Why You Should Stop Fighting It) Part 2 artwork

E114 - Why Every Church Has a Brand (And Why You Should Stop Fighting It) Part 2

What if the reason your church isn't growing is that you're fighting against who you actually are? In this episode, we tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in church planting and church growth: the power of owning your church's brand. We explore why contextualization that's celebrated on the mission field gets criticized in the local church, and what the New Testament actually says about picking a lane and reaching a specific people. Whether you lead a small church, a multisite, or you're in the early stages of planting, this conversation will challenge how you think about mission, identity, and sustainable church growth.

E112 - How to Lead Your Church Team Through Quarterly Planning: 4 Essential Components Part 2

Part 2: Most churches plan — but few have a rhythm that actually keeps vision and execution in sync. In this episode, we walk through the four essential components of the quarterly planning meeting we use at Mercy Hill Church. We break down how the check-in builds team trust, how to build an issues list that captures both problems and opportunities, how to "enter the danger" and create a culture of honest feedback, and why the 90-day cadence is the single most important meeting in your organization's year. Whether you're leading a church of 100 or 1,000, these principles will help your team get traction on the vision God has given you. Mentioned: Traction by Gino Wickman, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni.
