On the latest episode of The Unfair Advantage, host David Hibiske sits down with founding pastor Jon Dupin to discuss the raw reality of church planting and revitalization. From starting with just six people in a tiny country building to leading through major organizational pivots, Jon breaks down:

• The truth about "copy and paste" leadership in early ministry
• Why growth sometimes starts with subtraction
• How a season of pain, prayer, and fasting reshaped their church’s entire identity
• The ultimate warning sign of leadership burnout and how to navigate transitions with integrity
