Is complexity destroying your impact?
Published 1 day ago • 1 min read
Hi Reader,
You’ve probably heard of the Pareto Principle—the idea that 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts.
Well, here's an uncomfortable leadership question you can wrestle with:
What if your church is spending 80% of its time, energy, and budget on the wrong 80%?
Like most, you probably feel the pressure:
Keep adding more programs
Keep adding more platforms
Keep adding more processes
Because more leads to growth, right?
For many, it's doing the opposite. It's creating exhaustion, fragmentation, and complexity that quietly drains momentum.
This is something my team and I constantly battle as well. That’s why I wanted to share today’s guest post with you.
Combating complexity: why simple is the secret to multiplication.
This guest post from Jeff Harvey (part of the team at Subsplash) makes a compelling case that complexity isn’t just inconvenient—it’s a mission killer.
When systems don’t talk to each other, and leaders are buried in admin work, the mission gets fuzzy, and people fall through the cracks.
Your technology solution must be more than just adding. It has to simplify. As a result:
It’s not just about saving money.
It’s about reclaiming time, focus, and energy—so leaders can invest in the 20% that actually moves the mission forward: people, discipleship, and clarity of vision.
