    Intent to Settle

    Chuck Wood II and I discuss what defines Pioneering Work from my latest post: https://pheaney.substack.com/p/what-is-pioneering-work. Quotes: We're looking to fully hold on to the ground we take for the kingdom. Not just check it out a little bit or drop three seeds and then head back to the city. The first adjustment might not be any movement whatsoever other than just get your life oriented around God. Season 9: On Pioneering/How to Stick, Episode 5 This is a public episode.

    The Minimum Trellis

    Welcome to the start of Season 9 of the On the Road Podcast.

    Season 4: Stories from $0 Churches

    What does it look like to see God birth new churches among lost people? All around America there are bonafide living and breathing churches, filled with disciples of Jesus. These disciples used to be far from God. And these churches have cost nothing to start. Many of them are reproducing. In On the Road Season 4, we’ll be sharing stories of God working in and through these $0 churches. I can’t wait to learn together about the amazing work God is doing and how we can join him in it. The first part of Season 4 will be multiple interviews to help us better see those churches. Most of us can picture and even feel what church in a building at 10 am on Sunday is like. I’m hoping to help us better understand what simple churches look and feel like. Along the way, we’re going to learn a ton about what God is doing today. After those interviews, I’m hoping to put together a work with the lessons learned. I’m not sure what that will look like yet. It may be an audio documentary, a series of podcast episodes, a book of some sort, or just a one-page article. Regardless of the end product, I want to pull together the lessons learned so we can better understand and celebrate how God is working. There are a lot of people and places we could learn from, but I want to filter down to churches with the following criteria: They are autonomous churches, not cell groups. They are in a western context. They are made up primarily of people who were not following Jesus before the church came together. As already stated, I’ll be looking for low to no-cost churches. In addition, I’ll be looking for if the church is reproducing disciples and birthing new churches. I hope you’ll jump into Season 4 and learn with me.

    The Math Behind Movements

    I really enjoyed this interview with Chris Keener about a mathematical model behind movements. That sentence alone scared me at first, but diving into his article and then dialoguing the concepts with him has really helped me think through how I’m approaching the task of multiplying disciples. Show Notes: Published Article: A Mathematically Based Model of Disciple Making Movements Previous Conversation with Brett Butler about Money and Movements: https://pheaney.substack.com/p/movements-and-money Time Stamps, Topics & Quotes: 5:33 “before multiplication happens there is a lag where things don’t seem to move” 12:10 Two key factors: Receptivity and Relationships 21:40 “You control the amount of time that you spend” 23:05 Purely scattering seeds will not get you to multiplication 25:22 Rejoice if you have a new disciple every 2 years 30:15 The math breaks down if we rely on paid professionals 35:40 “Do I demand the reward of seeing frequent positive results?” This is a public episode.
