    Hey Pastor!

    Do you wish you knew the secret to growing your church while finding balance between ministry and your family?

    Do you find yourself updating your resume and browsing the job ads on ministryjobs.com?

    Do you want to develop leaders within your church to relieve the burden from your shoulders, but instead you’re constantly dealing with drama and conflict?

    You’re in the right place. Welcome to Pastors Thriving, where you will learn the secrets to leadership growth in your church - spiritually, numerically, and financially. You’ll learn how to equip and develop your staff and congregation so that you don’t have to feel alone on this journey - and enjoy the ministry that you’ve been called to once again.

    Hi, I’m Kevin. Twenty-year ministry veteran, husband of a powerhouse wife, the father of 5 wonderful kids, and lover of Jesus powered by coffee and tacos.

    It wasn’t long ago that I grew a church from zero to 700 in five short years and wrestled with the trauma and drama that goes along with intense church growth. It wasn’t until I learned the power of creativity and how I could harness it to lead others well by empowering them to share the burden. I created a culture of leadership development and was able to spend time with my family while my ministry thrived. And now I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with you!

    If you’re ready to finally find some breathing room in your leading and living…learning strategies that are simple, understandable, and inspiring…giving you results that are measurable, like numerical growth, spiritual depth, and even financial growth – then this podcast is your new best friend.

    Grab your AirPods and your notebook, class is in session, and thriving is here!

  • 2.58 - This Is Why People Visit Your Church Once and Never Come Back. Feat. Andrew Gantt
    Apr 22 2025

    Hey Pastor!

    In this can't-miss episode, Kevin sits down with Andrew Gantt—a towering figure in more ways than one—to explore the powerful, often-forgotten biblical principle of hospitality. Not the "cookies and coffee in the lobby" kind, but the real-deal, Jesus-modeled hospitality that brings healing, connection, and transformation to people’s lives.

    From motorcycle outreach to culinary leadership, Andrew shares how his unusual path led him to a deep revelation: hospitality and discipleship are one and the same. Together, they tackle what’s broken in church culture today, why most “hospitality committees” are missing the mark, and how pastors can lead the way toward authentic, healing relationships.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why hospitality is more than food—it’s about creating safe spaces for healing.
    • How Jesus showed hospitality through tears, not just miracles.
    • The surprising connection between hospitality and church growth (or stagnation).
    • Three types of hospitality your church should be practicing right now.
    • What it looks like to live out hospitality as a personal testimony.

    If you’ve ever wondered why your church isn’t connecting like it used to, this episode will hit home.
