Measuring What Matters on the Journey to Level 5 Multiplication
The 2025 Exponential big idea of Good, Great, Greater is all about creating a scorecard for your leadership, your church and your city, so we can bring the greater things Jesus envisioned, together.
What does it look like to pursue “greater things” in ministry, leadership, and life, inspired by Jesus’ invitation in John 14:12? It is an emphasis on shifting from merely achieving church growth to fostering a multiplying movement that extends globally, as described in Acts 1:8. It includes the need for churches to go beyond maintaining success and instead embrace the greater impact that Jesus promises.
Healthy leadership is foundational. We’ve all seen how toxic cultures and personal failings can derail even the most impactful leaders. These falls weren’t from doing too little but from not doing better. Leaders must prioritize their personal health while championing multiplication.
Churches must focus on becoming transformative communities. Disciple-making is at the core of our mission. By fostering spiritual growth and planting new church expressions, we can embody both transformation and multiplication.
In Acts 1:8, Jesus’ vision extends from local to global. Collaborative efforts between churches can address systemic issues, bring lasting change and multiply churches across the region. Together, churches can bring heaven to earth and do the greater things Jesus envisioned.
Jesus’ vision demands humility and action. This year at Exponential we are not simply asking you to do more; we are confessing that we must do better. I am asking you to join me as a leader by having a personal scoreboard that includes transformation and multiplication. I am also asking you to create a scoreboard for your church that is both qualitative and quantitative. I believe God is asking us to create scoreboards that bring heaven to earth for every inch of our cities!

I love what Exponential is doing to focus on multiplication, specifically the mission to see the percentage of U.S. churches that ever reproduce increase to greater than 10%. That’s a mission worth giving our lives to.
