    CPP #606 – Rewriting the Missions Playbook with Jacob Lierz

    In this episode, Chestly Lunday sits down with Jacob Lierz, Missions Pastor at LifeMission Church in Kansas City, to challenge conventional thinking on global missions. Jacob shares his powerful journey—from becoming a Christian at his home church to planting a church in a refugee camp in Djibouti, and now leading a reimagined missions strategy that prioritizes family-based care over institutional orphanages. They unpack the uncomfortable truths behind short-term trips, the harmful unintended consequences of orphanage-based missions, and why local churches need a new framework for global outreach. Jacob offers a compelling call to action for church planters: don’t delay global engagement. Prayer, generosity, and sending are part of your church’s DNA from day one. They also talk about reverse culture shock, raising globally-minded kids, and how poverty in the developing world compares to American need. Whether you’re planting in the inner city or training teams for Nepal, this episode will stretch your perspective—and maybe your travel budget.Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode: To connect with Jacob or learn more, email him at jacob.lierz@lifemission.churchWhen Helping Hurts by Steve Corbett and Brian FikkertReliant Mission: reliant.org/cppNewBreed Training Thanks for listening to the church planter podcast.

    CPP #605 – How to Conduct a Leadership Meeting for Your Church Plant

    In this episode of the Church Planter Podcast, Peyton Jones and Pete Mitchell tackle a topic that’s rarely discussed but critical to the health of your church plant—how to run a leadership meeting. Peyton shares his philosophy of open, transparent meetings, the structure he uses to keep them productive, and why listening often matters more than talking. You’ll hear practical tips on setting the tone, prioritizing issues, fostering unity without voting, and creating space for every voice to be heard. Plus, along the way, you’ll get plenty of stories—from supernatural disruptions to unexpected moments of team collaboration—that illustrate how leadership meetings can be both Spirit-led and highly effective.

    CPP #604 – This & That (aka Peyton's Theological Grab Bag)

    In this wide-ranging, rabbit-trail-rich episode, Peyton and Pete go full Loveline-meets-Lancashire-hotpot. What starts with a nostalgic nod to late-night radio quickly unravels into a theological deep dive covering Jordan Peterson’s spiritual journey, why Wesleyan theology still matters, and how different “gospels” throughout church history reflect the multi-faceted diamond of salvation. Peyton shares why he moved from Calvinism to Free Methodism (spoiler: it’s not for the branding) and how resurrection power is the part we’ve left out of modern soteriology. Pete drops a powerful recap of Free Burma Rangers—a documentary about frontline faith, radical sacrifice, and the gospel lived out under fire. Oh yeah, and they cover Comic-Con access tips, real-time church planter giving strategies, and a whole lot of this and that along the way.

    CPP #603 – What Kind of Leader Do You Want to Be?

    In this episode, Peyton returns from the UK with fresh ink and even fresher stories of what God is doing through a tattoo shop-turned-discipleship hub in Wales. From hilarious misadventures with a British dog to profound reflections on the sovereignty of God, Peyton walks us through a surprising chain of events that began with a simple Starbucks conversation—and continues to ripple through a church planting movement. Then, in light of John MacArthur’s passing, Peyton and Pete offer a thoughtful (and sometimes blunt) reflection on his legacy: the strengths, the blind spots, and what every leader can learn from a life of bold teaching and fierce convictions. Along the way, they explore how the APEST framework helps us stay balanced and avoid letting our strengths become our downfall.

    CPP #602 – Nick Hall on Evangelism

    In this episode of the Church Planter Podcast, Chestly Lunday interviews Nick Hall—evangelist, author, and founder of Pulse—about how to reach the next generation with the gospel. Nick shares stories of calling, risk, and revival, including how a simple prayer on a college campus turned into a nationwide movement to call young people back to Jesus. Chestly and Nick talk about the hunger they're seeing in Gen Z, why evangelism needs to be bold and relational, and how church planters can lean into prayer and obedience rather than platform-building. It’s a vulnerable and hope-filled conversation about dreaming big and starting small. You’ll hear: How to step into a calling before you feel “ready”What Gen Z is really looking for in the churchWhy the future of evangelism will look more like community than celebrity Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode: Pulse EvangelismReliant Mission: reliant.org/cppNewBreed Training Thanks for listening to the church planter podcast.

    CPP #601 – Larry Walkemeyer on Being a River Church

    What if your church stopped trying to be a lake and became a river instead? In this episode, Peyton Jones and Pete Mitchell sit down with Larry Walkemeyer, longtime pastor of Light & Life Christian Fellowship and the author of The River Church. Larry shares the radical vision God gave him and his wife Deb: instead of growing bigger, their church would grow deeper and wider by sending. That vision turned 39 parking spots into 33 church plants. Larry unpacks the biblical inspiration behind the river metaphor (Ezekiel 47), the ego-surrendering challenges of multiplication, and how prayer, generosity, and Spirit-led leadership shaped a culture of movement. Along the way, he shares powerful stories—from sending a former gang member to plant a thriving church, to watching a seemingly “failed” plant bear unexpected fruit on Capitol Hill. If you're a church planter or pastor dreaming of a multiplying movement, this conversation will stir your spirit and expand your imagination.
