CPP #530: Missional Outreach and Church Planting, Pt. 2/2

CPP #528: Missional Outreach and Church Planting, 1/2
No matter where you are in the church planting journey, finding new, simple, creative ways to reach your neighborhood is tricky (and vital.) We get stuck in our same rhythms, and wait for people to come to us, when we are the ones called to be missional and move out of our comfort zone to where the people actually are. In the first of two episodes on Missional Outreach and church planting, Mat and Robert cover a variety of pain points, from the importance of community and authenticity over promotional tactics, the failure of traditional methods and the need for a new approach in reaching families with the Christian message, and tell the story of how their church found their way through, with a new outreach program called Made For This Sports and Arts Camp. We're offering a huge discount to CPP leaders to use Made For This in your city. Tune in next time for more details and the exclusive discount code!

CPP #527 – Gathering on Mission
Today, we usually associate the idea of mission with scattering, or being "out there." On the flip side, we usually associate worship with the times we gather. But Jesus' ministry didn't look like that. Jesus gathered and scattered people on mission. In this episode, Peyton and Pete talk about what it looks like to make your church gatherings a missional function.Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode:newbreedtraining.com/gatheringReliant Mission: reliant.org/cppNewBreed TrainingMissionbyBusiness.comThanks for listening to the church planter podcast.

CPP #525 – David Sunde on Small-Batch Disciplemaking
Have we lowered the bar for what it means to be a Christian? If disciplemaking is a participatory sport, how are the people in your church doing? Chances are, not good. So, how do we get everyday believers engaged on the mission to make disciples? David Sunde has an answer, which he calls "small-batch disciplemaking."Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode:DavidSunde.comReliant Mission: reliant.org/cppNewBreed TrainingMissionbyBusiness.comThanks for listening to the church planter podcast.

We delve into the theological implications of exile, the historical context of the Israelite nation and its tribal identity, and the governance and economic systems of a nation.

CPP #522: Church Planting and Real Estate
When you're thinking about planting a church, what aspects of the process make you panic? Budget? People? Building? What if you didn't actually need to panic (and what if you didn't actually need a building the way you think you do?) Today, Robert and Mat are talking all about Church Planting and Real Estate–the challenges of finding suitable spaces to meet, setting up a mobile church, and the changing significance of physical location and signage for church planting. We'll be back with a part two of this topic soon–focusing on when to seek and establish a more "permanent" space for a church.
