I Had a Whole Year of Training

In this episode of It Could Only Happen to a Pastor, Matt Capps and Josh Reavis share a couple of painfully funny ministry moments—from Josh’s early pastoral foot-in-mouth encounter to a sermon illustration that accidentally made one’s own family the punchline. With plenty of laughter and some honest reflection, they talk about the awkward situations pastors inevitably face and the humility required to recover from them. Tune in for relatable stories, good-natured humor, and a reminder to take the gospel seriously—but not yourself. If you’ve got a funny or unforgettable story of your own, we’d love to hear it! You can connect with us on Instagram @ItCouldOnly, or email it to us at resources@namb.net. Don’t worry, if we share it on the podcast, it’ll stay completely anonymous.

Sharable Quotes (#NewChurches): We have limits, and God made us spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional beings. If we don’t care for ourselves in those areas and establish a balance between work and rest, we’re going to make some major mistakes. — Vance Pitman We tend to have in our minds that Jesus demands we work hard, be diligent, and exhaust ourselves. There is an element of truth in that, but at the same time, there’s a balancing tension of spiritual obedience. — Vance Pitman It is not unspiritual to pull away from the demands of ministry to rest. As a matter of fact, it’s unspiritual not to in ministry. — Vance Pitman The primary calling of my life is not ministry; it’s intimacy. Ministry is what He does out of the overflow of intimacy. If you look at the life of Jesus in the Gospels, Jesus is constantly interrupted and never in a hurry. — Vance Pitman Muscle only grows when you rest it and fuel it. Church planting is the same way. You have to rest to see the growth happen. — Noah Oldham The philosophy of much of North American church planting is the superstar, lone-ranger, high-capacity planter, but the philosophy of the New Testament is teamwork. — Vance Pitman The post Creating Rhythms of Rest appeared first on New Churches.

What Clint Clifton Would Want You to Know About Church Planting

Episode 728 Clint Clifton believed our love of the Lord compels us to evangelize and multiply churches. Host Ed Stetzer, Colby Garman and Trevin Wax honor Clint by talking about what mattered to him. In This Episode, You’ll Discover: What wrong questions we ask about church planting The right question to ask about church planting How Clint multiplied himself and his passion What it looks like for smaller congregations to plant churches The kind of person needed to plant churches Helpful Resources: Watch this tribute video about Clint Honor Clint by donating to the Clint Clifton Global Church Planting Fund Download your free copy of his book, Church Planting Thresholds Interested in learning more?

Sharable Quotes (#NewChurches): Such a tragic loss. You could see the tidal wave of grief and loss spread. It’s been difficult, but we’ve also seen God’s grace give strength. @Colby Garman Clint wrote: “If you’re going to plant a new church or lead your church to plant a new church, you will have to maintain a deep resolve to endure the difficulties ahead.” @EdStetzer Clint’s planting legacy comes back to the assumption that every church should be involved in church planting, not “Should we? Could we?” but “Why would we not? How could we not be involved?” @TrevinWax At the core of Clint was that life is an act of worship. Church planting for him was an act of worship, more than a strategy. @Colby Garman Clint was continually willing to get up again, do it again, start something again. This is the kind of church planter that really makes a gospel difference. @EdStetzer Clint’s heart was to trust the good heart of the Father. @TrevinWax Clint would want you to know that it doesn’t take you being the most brilliant or the most articulate. It just takes showing up, doing it again, making much of Jesus and not making it about you. @EdStetzer The post What Clint Clifton Would Want You to Know About Church Planting appeared first on New Churches.

Stay Hungry. Always Hustle. Interested in learning more? Check out our Church Planting Primer. Are you ready to enroll in our Church Planting Masterclass? Please subscribe to the podcast and leave a rating and review on iTunes. Sharable Quotes (#NewChurches): A lot of church planters assume they have to become pastors, but the reality is that Paul never pastored any of the churches he planted. He was the planter and apostolic missionary who raised up leaders. — Vance Pitman When you ask a good question, you honor the person you’re asking, and you’re saying to them, “I’m really interested and want to know more.” — Brad Lomenick Hunger doesn’t take skill or know-how, but it does take experience. It’s the mindset of walking into every environment with a posture of asking questions compared to just giving answers. — Brad Lomenick Leadership is not sitting in a room with a whiteboard and dreaming up something great for God; it’s about living in dependence and in pursuit of Him, seeking what He’s doing in the world, and then leveraging our lives to get in on it. — Vance Pitman Church planting requires hard work and a generation of leaders who are saying, “I’m willing to do the hard things.” — Noah Oldham The post H3 Leader: Part 2 appeared first on New Churches.

When Committees Are Out of Control

Mark Clifton, Dan Hurst, and Kyle Bueermann discuss what happens when church committees go off the rails in a church. When there are almost more committees in the church constitution than there are people in the church. When the church has not examined, revised, and strengthened its committee structure in years (perhaps even a decade or longer). When the progress of the church gets bogged down in competing or controlling committees. When one committee is the power broker of the entire church. When most committee members can’t tell you what their committee does. When committees actually haven’t met or functioned for years. When committees meet, but they don’t actually do anything. When committee membership becomes a goal for church members who want power and control. When the church still has business meetings simply so the committees can report. When no one in the church will publicly question the value of these committees.

Sharable Quotes (#NewChurches): Humility is not a lack of courage. We need to denounce sin, but whenever we denounce it, there ought to be a tear in our eyes. – Dr. Crawford Loritts Let’s not rush to judgment, but at the same time and in the name of Jesus, let’s weep with those who weep and mourn with those who mourn. – Dr. Crawford Loritts This is not about politics, who has the last say, or who’s getting the most likes, clicks, and followers. It’s about humility, giving an appropriate word, and positioning the gospel. – Dr. Crawford Loritts You have got to be careful to not define “righteous indignation” as vomiting all the truth you know and beating people up with the Bible. You’ve got to represent the heart of the Savior. – Dr. Crawford Loritts Your character and godliness have to be greater than the platform you stand on or the issue you’re addressing. – Dr. Crawford Loritts You’re not trying to be cute or relevant. You’re trying to help your people think distinctively and biblically as kingdom people in light of the issues occurring right now. Preaching is a discipleship deal. – Dr. Crawford Loritts The post Preaching and Current Events appeared first on New Churches.
