For the first time, an episode has been downloaded more than 2,000 times! My conversation with Alan Hirsch on “How Church Multiply” has been listened to 2,598 times to date, to be exact. We’ve received a great deal of thankful feedback that we tackled the tricky topic of money and ministry in our last podcast. Here is Part 2 of our conversation, “When Money Hurts Ministry.” If you’ve ever thought, “If we just had more money, our ministry could really take off,” this episode is for you. I speak with movement practitioner and author Brett Butler about how funding can unintentionally weaken movements, why “more money” is rarely the real solution, and what it looks like to move toward truly self-sustaining ministry. We also explore biblical principles for handling money wisely and practical ways to discern when funding helps—and when it quietly harms. If, after listening, you want to go deeper, you can do this on Brett’s website www.movementsandmoney.org, or check out his book To Whom Much Was Given in audio or print, offered at subsided prices.

I pray you are stepping into 2026 with a fresh passion for your God-given vision, expectant faith for God-sized faith targets, and clear priorities. I’ve just returned from a few days of personal retreat where I cultivated all this in my heart. Such personal retreats I take at the turn of every year—to evaluate, listen to God, and determine faith goals for the next year. If you’ve ever thought, “If we just had more money, our ministry could really take off,” this episode is for you. I sit down with movement practitioner and author Brett Butler to tackle one of the trickiest issues in ministry - money. Together we explore the theme “When Money Hurts Ministry.” Drawing on years of conversations with movement leaders, Brett unpacks how funding can unintentionally damage movements, why “more money” is rarely the real solution, and how leaders can move toward truly self-sustaining ministry. We dive into biblical principles for handling money wisely, and how to discern when funding actually helps—and when it quietly harms. This conversation is especially for frontline movement practitioners and leaders who wrestle with the financial side of multiplying disciples and churches.

    Victor John on: From One Village to Four Million Disciples – Breakthrough Leadership Lessons, Part 2

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit emanuelprinz.substack.com Greetings, friends! I’ve just returned from a remarkable gathering of leaders from larger churches—mostly within the Church of England—who are courageously stepping into the adventure of discipleship multiplication. In a context shaped by deep tradition and strong institutional structures, these leaders are asking bold questions: What would it look like for our local churches to take on movemental forms? How can we see ordinary believers equipped to multiply disciples? It was a joy to walk alongside them, offering input, sharing best practices, and providing coaching. My friend John McGinley has been pioneering this vision across our nation, and it’s inspiring to see more and more leaders catching hold of it. Here are the easiest ways to access our podcast.
