CPP #616 – Getting Into a Public Space

In this episode, the Peyton & Pete kicks things off reminiscing about the early days of The Church Planter Podcast before diving into one of the most practical topics for planters today: how and where to meet.

Peyton unpacks his current church plant journey and explores creative ways to gather—whether in homes, co-working spaces, or even pubs. Together, he and Pete talk about balancing depth and width in ministry, why mission should shape your model, and how old rhythms like weekly communion can bring new life to a community on mission.

If you’ve ever wondered how to grow beyond your living room without losing authenticity—or how to make disciples in the middle of your neighborhood’s everyday spaces—this conversation will give you plenty to think about (and laugh about).

Highlights include:

• Why consistency matters more than ever in podcasting and pastoring
• Peyton’s vision for churches meeting in shared workspace
• The real-world costs of renting schools and community centers
• Blending centralized gatherings with scattered micro-churches
• Taking communion seriously in every setting
• A reminder that the mission always dictates the model
