What would change if your church planned every Sunday expecting someone new to walk through the doors?

Josh Roberie welcomes Sheldon J. Andrus III, author of Sunday by Design, for a practical conversation about creating Sunday services that help people connect and take their next step.

Sheldon shares seven habits covering service timing, dependable formats, intentional openings, guest connection, clear next steps, timely follow-up, and measuring attendance. Together, they explore how consistent preparation equips volunteers and why familiar routines deserve a fresh look through a first-time guest’s eyes.

Listen with your team and choose one improvement to put into practice this Sunday.
