The Unfair Advantage EP 013 | The Where - 5 Questions Before Choosing A Place To Plant
“So much of our journey is discovering what God has in mind.” Questions are powerful. Asking the right question with the right heart posture can be used by God to take your church plant far. Oftentimes, as church planters, we come with ready and willing hearts, but we lack the understanding of where God is leading us practically to plant a church. Today’s episode gives you five key questions to prayerfully ask as you discern where to plant.
Welcome to Episode 013 of The Unfair Advantage Podcast with Mike Hickerson and Andy Wood.
