SEASON 1: EPISODE 29: Roots That Last ft. Caleb Barrows (Part 6 of 6)

(Series: Church Planting)

TANDEM HOPE WORSHIP COLLECTIVE is excited to begin a new series simply titled, Church Planting with our host, Leisha Cole. In today’s episode, we continue to talk with our guest, Pastor Caleb Barrows. If your own church body is an arm trying to function as a leg within your community, your church body is trying to be something its not. We need all Church Bodies under Christ, unified by being the church who God has called you to be. Don’t try to measure up to any other cultural or societal standard. Be true to who God has called you to be. We also discuss practical techniques in terms of finding musicians! Caleb also challenges us—”Instead of ‘God, we’re so under-resourced,’ ask for spiritual eyes to see who and what He HAS provided and thank God for His Provision!” Pastor Barrows also encourages those planting a church by reminding us, “We’re most fruitful in the ways we least expect it.” What does “success” look like? What does “failure” look like? Let’s grow in God’s Timing, or else we fall prey to the dangers of unhealthy, human expectations.

God bless!

SEASON 1: EPISODE 28: Roots That Last ft. Caleb Barrows (Part 5 of 6)

(Series: Church Planting)

TANDEM HOPE WORSHIP COLLECTIVE is excited to begin a new series simply titled, Church Planting with our host, Leisha Cole. Starting off as our first guest is beloved friend, Church Planter, Pastor and Ohio-native: Caleb Barrows. In today’s episode, we discuss megachurches and false teaching and The False Gospel. In this discussion, we ask the question, “What/who are we drawing people to? What are they being drawn with?” Some churches are known for teaching that glorifies selfishness, individualism, comfort in sin, and personal prosperity. We pray that you are challenged by today’s episode so that we multiply true lovers of Christ Jesus as we plant churches. In all we say and do—it’s gotta glorify God.

God bless!

(Series: Church Planting)

TANDEM HOPE WORSHIP COLLECTIVE is excited to begin a new series simply titled, Church Planting with our host, Leisha Cole. Starting off as our first guest is beloved friend, Church Planter, Pastor and Ohio-native: Caleb Barrows. In today’s episode, we continue our interview with Caleb. We discuss the question, “What are some of the positive and negative affects of utilizing ‘church plant recipes,’ formulas, and systems that try to guarantee church growth? Also, are you a prideful “young buck” who believes your ideas—or you, yourself—will be THE catalyst of a new movement? Jesus builds The Church. Without Him, our church plant is built upon sinking sand and a crumbling cornerstone. We hope and pray that you’ll be blessed by this special episode!

(Series: Church Planting)

TANDEM HOPE WORSHIP COLLECTIVE is excited to begin a new series simply titled, Church Planting with our host, Leisha Cole. Starting off as our first guest is beloved friend, Church Planter, Pastor and Ohio-native: Caleb Barrows. In today’s episode, we take a break from the interview to hear an exhortation from Leisha Cole to help point us back to Jesus. There is no one you want more on your church planting team than God, Himself! Teaching The Word of God and sharing and living out the Gospel MUST be a PRIORITY while church planting! What gets in the way of a healthy church plant? Our self-centered ambition and expectations—and from that posture of heart, we often disengage from the reality that we NEED God in this process. Caring for The Flock is the heart of Jesus. The heart of Jesus NEEDS to be our True North in church planting. This is a reflective episode—a chance to go deeper in speaking with The Holy Spirit about your heart in church planting. Jesus builds The Church. Without Him, our church plant is built upon sinking sand and a crumbling cornerstone. We hope and pray that you’ll be blessed by this special episode!
