    CPP #539 – What to Do When Someone is Trying to Manipulate You

    Everyone has an opinion in a church plant and there's nothing wrong with simply voicing it. However, some people will try to manipulate you into doing what they want, and you can't allow that sort of behavior to take hold and become the norm in a new church. In this episode, Peyton and Pete talk about the ways people may try to manipulate you and how to handle those kinds of interactions.

    CPP #537 – Daniel Im on The Discipleship Opportunity

    Churches have been focusing on two categories of people for decades: Christians and non-Christians. But what if that's too simplistic? Daniel Im believes we need to add one dimension to this mindset if we want to understand and reach the people in our communities.

    CPP #536: Attractional vs. Mission-driven Leadership

    CPP #536: Attractional vs. Mission-driven Leadership

    As you're getting ready to plant your church (or in these early stages of church planting), what do you consider success? Sticking with ministry until the end? Establishing yourself as a reliable voice in your community? Having an impact on your neighborhood? Changing the culture? 
    Today, Robert and Mat dive into these questions, exploring the concept of
    ministry for the long haul" in church planting, the challenges and benefits of church growth, and the reasons for planting churches in new areas. They talk through the attractional model versus a mission-focused model in church leadership, the importance of long-term community engagement, and the pros and cons of the 'launch large model' for church plant networks.

Thank you from Canada ,

Binge listening

Just wanted to say thank you. I am a Pastor in rural Saskatchewon (not a church planter) and got tuned into your podcaste from some church planting friends of mine. Actually I just realized he wrote a reivew for you, so there is evidance that more then a handful of people are listening.

Have been challenged and encouraged by all you had to say. So far for me Episode 4 "A New Hope" (sorry wrong podcaste) The One with Dave Thomas, (which really was a story of new hope) to be the best. Thanks again for doing what your doing.

Great program

Just finished episode 23 on the bi-vocational church planter. Filled with great stuff to think through and live out.

ClayBitner ,

I agree with Pete

If you’re looking for a dry straight-laced one-dimensional podcast, look somewhere else. These guys goof around for about 20 minutes each episode (sometimes this is the best part of my commute), but then dive into some extremely helpful and encouraging topics that are beneficial for pastors, church planters, and anyone considering being involved in a church plant.
