CPP #575 – Walter Kim on Evangelicalism and Politics
Walter Kim, the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, joins Chestly Lunday for a conversation on how the political climate in the United States is impacting the future of evangelicalism. Whether we like it or not, evangelicalism has grown to have some negative connotations in the United States in spite of many of the good things evangelicals provide for society. As a result, we need to do the hard work of maintaining a listening and missionary posture that sees opportunities for the advancement of the gospel rather than political battlefields.Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode:Difficult ConversationsReliant Mission: reliant.org/cppNewBreed TrainingThanks for listening to the church planter podcast.

CPP #574 – Jim Wilder on Escaping Enemy Mode
We live in a time where people are more apt to view others as enemies and treat each other poorly as a result. We reject the possibility of meaningful relationships and maintain a distorted, hostile view of the world. This impacts our ability to make discipleship, which is the primary relational mission of the church. Jim Wilder helps us understand the dynamics that cause us to enter "enemy mode" and how we can avoid it in this podcast episode.Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode:EscapingEnemyMode.comReliant Mission: reliant.org/cppNewBreed TrainingThanks for listening to the church planter podcast.
