They also outline what to consider when making this decision (including technology) and offer practical strategies to help you avoid missteps in your teaching model. If you're launching a campus—or just wondering if it's time to rethink your approach—this episode is for you.

If you've ever tried to launch a second campus, you know the struggle is real. Turns out, most churches get their staffing and structure wrong from day one, but we're here to save you from those painful missteps. In this episode, Amy and Sean dive into the math behind multisite staffing (hint: your ratios probably need to change), why rushing to build a massive central team is a recipe for disaster, and how to avoid turning your campus pastor into a lonely island. We'll also tackle the ever-present challenge of who actually gets to make decisions in this whole multisite dance.  Whether you're thinking about going multisite or feeling “multi-stuck” right now, we discuss practical guidance you may need to build a structure that actually works.   This Episode Is Brought to You by PlainJoe: Are you considering adding a second or third campus to your growing church?

In this episode of RAPM Focus, Editor-in-Chief Brian Sites, MD, is thrilled to welcome Kesavan Sadacharam, MD, and Allison Fernandez, MD, following the April 2024 publication of their original research paper, “Multisite prospective study of perioperative pain management practices for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in adolescents: Society for Pediatric Anesthesia Improvement Network (SPAIN) Project Report.” Unwarranted variation in health care refers to differences in health care delivery that cannot be attributed to patient illness, medical evidence, or patient preferences. Instead, these variations arise from differing local medical practices, resource availability, and physician decision-making processes. Unwarranted variations can lead to sub-optimal patient outcomes, with some patients receiving unnecessary or harmful treatments while others may not receive beneficial interventions. Two individuals are behind a multi-center collaborative initiative that looks at the utilization of regional anesthesia and pain medicine techniques for ACL reconstruction. Dr. Allison Fernandez is an associate professor at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, practicing pediatric anesthesia, and pediatric acute and chronic pain management. Dr. Fernandez started a video series, Women of Impact in Anesthesia, empowering women in medicine. Dr. Kesavan Sadacharam is a pediatric anesthesiologist and associate professor at Nemours Children's Health, located in Wilmington, DE. He is currently the director of regional anesthesia and practices both acute and chronic pain management. *The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

Every quarter, The Unstuck Group compiles all the data we've collected to monitor trends in churches in the United States.

We received data from over 100 multisite churches ranging from fewer than 500 people in physical attendance to more than 20,000 people in attendance. These churches had as few as two locations to more than 20 locations, and the average attendance of the churches responding to the survey was 2,982 people. In this episode, Sean and Amy discuss findings from the Q4 2024 Unstuck Church Report and take a targeted look at trends and data for multisite churches.  For the full episode transcript, links mentioned during the show and to download the Leader Conversation Guide, visit this episode's Show Notes at  theunstuckgroup.com/episode373.   This episode is sponsored by Horizons Stewardship: Horizons Stewardship utilizes a collaborative and integrated ministry framework designed to fit each organization's unique culture and support church and faith-based nonprofit leaders in their mission to grow disciples and fund ministry through coaching, planning, technology, and analytics.
