The Fully-Funded Church Planter #3 – Planting in Urban Places

In this episode of the Fully-Funded Church Planter, Chestly Lunday sits down with Demeko Bivens to talk about the unique dynamics of planting churches in urban environments.

From the dangers of rushing vision to the importance of spiritual authority in underserved contexts, this conversation is packed with insights for anyone planting in or around the urban core.

Whether you're planting in the city or simply want to understand what urban ministry requires, this episode offers a grounded, Spirit-led look at what it means to serve faithfully in complex places.
