CPP #490: The Jesus Shaped Journey with Sean Blomquist (pt. 2/2)
This week's episode is part two of our interview from last week with Sean Blomquist, coach, mentor, "rabbi," and is on the leadership team with the San Francisco branch of 3 Dimensional Ministries, or 3DM. He's worked hard to frame the discipleship journey in the way of Jesus, the journey to the cross, or the "Jesus-shaped journey." They talk about freeing people from the bondage of feeling like you have to answer every question as a church planter, the hero's journey for the church planter and pastor, and about entering into the journey of formation in a way that embraces the formation instead of running away from it. Sean is our most available guest yet–in order to learn more from Sean, you can send him a text message at 925-212-9498.

Together, they discuss how to go about both loving and reaching your neighbor in a way that doesn't sacrifice either priority.

CPP #487 – Reaching the Youth
If there's one demographic that Satan doesn't want you to reach, it's the youth. They are the key to multiplication. Unfortunately, we've bought into the lies that you have to reach adults to be successful. That's where the legitimacy and money is. But movement potential is found in the next generation, and if we want to reach the lost, we have to start by reaching the youth in front of us.Thanks for listening to the church planter podcast.

CPP #486: 7 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Plant a Church
We are back with another episode with Tim and Robert, a part two to last Wednesday's episode on why you should plant a church. But today, they're hitting us with the opposite: how to determine if you actually maybe shouldn't. They focus less on external barriers and more on the heart of the planter, exploring those fun ideas of church wounds, ego bruising, and pride. Plus: some usual banter about baseball and whether or not robots should be umpires.

CPP #484 - Calvary Chapel and the Jesus Revolution
Pete finally watched the movie Jesus Revolution, so he and Peyton decided to talk about it! They discuss the history of the movement, but also talk about how our gut reaction is often to dismiss and marginalize groups of people and not make room for them in our churches. This is a mistake no church planter can afford to make.Thanks for listening to the church planter podcast.
