    Dave Coles on: The Two Sparks Every Movement Needs to Catch Fire

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit emanuelprinz.substack.com Hi friend, can you believe my excitement that my last book What Actually Starts Movements has been published in Korean?! I am deeply thankful to Tong Park for this commitment to the book. He and others in his network have incorporated the book content into their training curricula already. If you speak Korean or know Korean workers, here is the link. Further publications of the book in Spanish, German, and Arabic are in preparation. Today we’re bringing you part two of my conversation with Dave Coles on the movement that has spread across the Horn of Africa, we get specific about ignition — what actually has to be present before a movement can even begin. Dave unpacks two factors he and Aychi identify as absolutely central: holy boldness and Jesus’ radical love. Dave is clear that the heart we bring to ministry matters more than the methods we use. He leaves us with one concrete question to sit with this week: if multiplication isn’t happening in your context, what should you (re)evaluate first? If you want to dive even deeper into the story, you’ll find more in Dave’s and Aychi’s book, Living Fire. Who in your network will benefit from this? Please forward or restack—it could inspire someone’s next step in multiplying disciples. Warmly, Emanuel Prinz - Father’s beloved & movement activist "I have found Multiplying Disciplers to be a great help. Through a varied and engaging array of media, these training programs go straight to the heart of many issues and provide a clear and simple pathway towards disciple-making." — Phil Moore, DMM Catalyst in London, author of "The Forgotten Manifesto of Jesus" Explore Multiplying Disciplers by simply clicking here.

    Dave Coles on: The Fire That Started in One Man — and Spread into a Movement

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit emanuelprinz.substack.com Hi friend, we are excited to let you know that we’ve updated my ministry webpage. Have a look around and enjoy the new content. If you’ve ever admired a movement story from a distance and wondered what actually made it ignite, this episode is for you. Today I sit down with my friend and editor Dave Coles for the first of a two-part conversation on the story of a disciple-making movement that has spread across the entire Horn of Africa. In this episode, Dave takes us into Aychi’s own story — the moment his ministry shifted from addition to multiplication, and the early days when that shift began to compound. We uncover the specific factors that ignited this movement — factors Dave believes aren’t unique to the Horn of Africa, but relevant to you wherever you’re serving. If you want to dive even deeper into the story, you’ll find more in Dave’s and Aychi’s book, Living Fire. I was privileged to talk on the Lausanne Movement podcast about what leaders who start movements have in common and how we can grow in these qualities. Check it out here. Who in your network will benefit from this podcast? Please forward or restack—it could inspire someone’s next step in multiplying disciples. Warmly, Emanuel Prinz - Father’s beloved & movement activist The digital training platform Multiplying Disciplers is spreading — we now have our first non-English course, in Indonesian Bahasa, thanks to Mario Kasih's initiative.

    Are You Sharing, or Are They Hearing?

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit emanuelprinz.substack.com Dear friend, when you are reading these lines, I will be on a plane to Lima, Peru, where I’ll spend a week equipping the leaders of the Latin American ministry Reflejo under the leadership of the wonderful Dave Matthews. Reflejo has been shifting toward a movement-ministry paradigm, and I have the privilege of helping them set themselves up as a movemental organization — one that becomes increasingly effective in catalyzing movements. In part two of my conversation with Matt Millar and Augustin Longa, we go deeper into the practice of making the kingdom relevant. The key question is not only, “Are we preaching?” but, “Are people hearing?” We explore how culture can become a hidden entrance fee to the kingdom, how churches can unintentionally export their own church culture, and how leaders can discern whether people are truly hearing the gospel—or merely encountering something that feels foreign, irrelevant, or burdensome. Matt and Augustin also address a common fear: Does contextualization water down the gospel? Their answer helps us hold together faithfulness to the gospel with genuine love for people and their context. This episode is for anyone who wants to communicate the gospel clearly, humbly, and beautifully in the places where God has placed them. Related to this, I warmly recommend the new course on Multiplying Disciplers, our digital training platform: Developing a Gospel Message That Is Good News. Would you like to try it out? It is easy to get started — and the platform is free of charge for the first 1,000 users. Just click here to explore the course. We’re early in this journey with the platform, so if something glitches or annoys you, just hit reply and tell us — we’d genuinely love the feedback. Who in your network will benefit from this?

    What if people are not rejecting Jesus, but something to do with us?

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit emanuelprinz.substack.com Salam, dear friend. I’ve just returned from training NEO leaders in Catalytic Leadership and in how to identify and address Movement Boosters and Blockers. The response was nothing short of amazing. In the room, senior leaders made an ad hoc decision: they want to equip all 7,800 of their church planters across the Middle East in the Catalytic Qualities. Even more remarkably, they decided to begin rolling out a coaching process “next week” among all leaders, cascading all the way down to grassroots church planters and house church leaders. Alhamdulillah! And that makes today’s podcast episode especially timely. I’m joined by Matt Millar and Augustin Longa for a real, raw conversation about what they call “cultural humility” and the way we carry the gospel. We ask a direct and uncomfortable question: What if people around us are not rejecting Jesus, but rejecting the cultural packaging we attach to Jesus? Matt and Augustin help us explore why cultural humility is not a missionary technique, but a kingdom posture for every Christian. We talk about the danger of assuming that our way of being Christian is the normal one, and how leaders can begin to recognize when they are bringing their own culture into ministry more than they realize. This conversation draws from their helpful book, The Church in Context: Harnessing Cultural Humility for Kingdom Advancement. If you would like to explore the topic more deeply, I warmly recommend it. An update from Multiplying Disciplers: Did you know that 86% of our early users answered the question, “How valuable do you find this program for your ministry?” with “extremely valuable”? We could barely believe such strong feedback! They could have chosen “valuable,” but their assessment was even stronger: the courses they had taken were extremely valuable for their ministry. That is deeply encouraging to our team. And more and more learners are now signing up to explore Multiplying Disciplers for themselves. We reached more than 100 users within the first week! They are discovering short, practical courses designed to equip them to multiply disciples more effectively. Would you like to try it out? It is easy to get started — and free of charge for the first 1,000 users. Who in your network will benefit from this? Please forward or restack—it could inspire someone’s next step forward.

    Josh Benadum on: Brokenness, Failure, and the Soul of Leadership, Part 1

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit emanuelprinz.substack.com Dear friend, Big news first before I introduce this week’s podcast: Multiplying Disciplers is now live! After many months of building, testing, refining, and praying, our new training platform for multiplying disciplers has officially launched. The platform is designed to provide practical, transformational equipping for disciple multiplication and movement ministry — helping leaders move from inspiration to real-life multiplication. The first available programs include: * Cultivating Expectant Faith for a Movement * Making Your Discipling Reproducible * Seven Best Practices of Multiplying Disciplers * Developing a Gospel Message that is Good News * Assessing the Blockers and Boosters of Your Ministry * Becoming an Empowering Leader Who Unlocks Others The first 1000 people who join as Founding Members will receive free access for one full year. You can explore the platform and join here: Multiplying Disciplers We would love for you to be part of this from the beginning. Now to this week’s podcast: Brokenness, Failure, and the Soul of Leadership. Why do gifted Christian leaders so often burn out, drift morally, or slowly lose their soul while building ministry? In this deeply personal and vulnerable conversation, Joshua Benadum and I talk honestly about disappointment, brokenness, failure, ambition, spiritual shallowness, and the danger of separating ministry competence from inner formation. This is not about leadership techniques. It is about the soul of leadership — and the kind of inner life that can sustain long-term fruitfulness. I believe this may be one of the most honest conversations we’ve had yet on The Movement Cast. For a deeper dive, here is a link to Josh’s book A Life That Leads. Who in your network will benefit from this? Please forward or restack—it could inspire someone’s next step in multiplying leaders.

    Rich Robinson on: How to Introduce Powerful Change, Part 2

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit emanuelprinz.substack.com Hello friend! Before I share today’s podcast, I’d love to give you a clearer glimpse of what is inside Multiplying Disciplers, the training platform we’ll be launching in the next few days. It is not just a collection of courses. Our vision is to provide practical, accessible equipping for people who long to multiply disciples — helping them grow step by step in the skills, practices, and habits that lead to greater fruitfulness. That is why every module is designed to move beyond theory. Learners are guided toward practical next steps, real ministry application, and simple actions they can put into practice right away. The first available programs are: * Cultivating Expectant Faith for a Movement * Making Your Discipling Reproducible * Seven Best Practices of Multiplying Disciplers * Developing a Gospel Message that is Good News * Assessing the Blockers and Boosters of Your Ministry * Becoming an Empowering Leader Who Unlocks Others A few things make this platform especially unique: * Content shaped by the broadest-ever research on movements * Training created by experienced movement practitioners * Flexible learning designed for busy ministry leaders * Practical next steps integrated throughout the learning process * Modules designed not just to inform, but to transform And here’s something important: The first 1000 people who join as Founding Members will receive free access for one full year. If you’d like to get a first feel for the platform before launch, you can explore the website here: https://multiplying-disciplers.org/ We’ll launch in just a few day. On launch day, I’ll send you the signup link so you can join as a Founding Member. We would love for you to be part of this from the beginning. Now to today’s podcast. If you’ve ever tried to move a church forward, you’ve felt the tension: everyone wants renewal—until it requires them to change. Big vision is common; lasting transformation is not. In Part 2, Rich Robinson—co-founder and team leader of the Movement Leaders Collective (with Alan Hirsch) and co-founder of CREO—unpacks his simple but profound 4-stage change pathway: DREAM, DISCOVER, DESIGN, DEPLOY. You’ll hear why most churches hit a bottleneck between inspiring ideas and real implementation, why the leader’s inner life matters more than any outward process, and how to make it through the “valley” when momentum drops and discouragement rises. If you want to lead change with both courage and wisdom, this conversation will give you a clear map. If you’re interested in more, here’s a link to Rich’s book “All Change”. Would you take a movement to think, Who in your network will benefit from this? Please forward or restack—it could inspire someone’s next step in multiplying leaders.
