What does it look like to faithfully disciple high-capacity people without treating them simply as financial resources?

In our August Quarterly Session, Pastor Zach Terry shares practical and biblical insight on how church leaders can pastor, disciple, challenge, and empower people at every financial level.

He also shares how these principles helped his church address $12 million in debt and become completely debt-free within three years—all while continuing to grow and expand its ministry.

This is a valuable conversation about generosity, stewardship, discipleship, and casting a God-sized vision for your church.

🎥 Watch here:

How can churches effectively disciple and engage high-capacity individuals without showing favoritism or treating people simply as financial resources?
