In Episode 27 of Habits of Healthy Churches, host Dr. Marcus J. Carlson is joined by Dawn Spies to explore Habit 5: Healthy churches value process. In their conversation, Spies emphasizes that a strong and intentional process is not about creating red tape or unnecessary complexity—it’s about building clarity, consistency, and sustainability into the life of the church. Healthy churches don’t rely on quick fixes; they develop thoughtful, repeatable ways of handling leadership, decision-making, ministry, and conflict. Spies highlights how process encourages ownership, fosters trust, and even allows for greater creativity by providing structure. She also stresses the importance of regular reflection and adaptation—valuing process means being willing to evaluate what’s working and adjust when necessary. Ultimately, the episode makes the case that valuing process is a sign of maturity and intentionality, helping churches remain faithful, focused, and flexible over time.
