While not directly rated to Hillsong, there's an interesting series of episodes from Gimlet Media's StartUp podcast called Church Planting that dives down to reveal more day to day operations on how church plants that start small like Hillsong grow into bigger churches. Lot of the aspects of pitching to established investor churches, growth hacking, etc. have a lot more in common to a startup company than a church and pastors more like founders. Church plants that can adapt have a more successful growth. I think it provides an interesting perspective into how "successful" churches like Hillsong that started by meeting in a high school end up turning into megachurches across 6 continents.
