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.

What do you do when you can't find a place for your church plant to actually gather? Or you've found some great spaces but can't afford them? Mat and Robert are back, tackling what seems to always be a huge hurdle in church planting (and church sustaining.)

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?

As the next election season is quickly approaching, are you finding yourself wondering how to engage politically in the culture and with your congregation (or if you even should?) In this episode, we chat with author, teacher, and speaker Preston Sprinkle, about his new book, Exiles: The Church in the Shadow of Empire. 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. We explore the political implications of the early Christian movement, the challenges of planting a church in a political era, the divisive nature of mainstream news, and how to find a way through it that is true to the kingdom of God. Ways to find more from Preston: Website: prestonsprinkle.com. New Book: Exiles: the Church in the Shadow of EmpirePodcast: Theology in the RawConference: Exiles in Babylon 2024 News/journalism outlets recommended in this episode: The Pour OverAND Campaign  Breaking Points Matt Tabbi w/ Racket News Useful Idiots The Atlantic Find more from the Church Planter Podcast on instagram @churchplanterpodcast, on Facebook at Church Planter Podcast, twitter @cPlanterPodcast, and YouTube at Church Planter Podcast.

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. Find more from the Church Planter Podcast on instagram @churchplanterpodcast, on Facebook at Church Planter Podcast, twitter @cPlanterPodcast, and YouTube at Church Planter Podcast.

Microchurch is one of ministry's buzzwords today, but there are many debates over what it is and how it works. In this episode, Peyton proposes that microchurch is a function rather than a model. Any church could utilize microchurch, and it would likely help them reach the lost.Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode:Reliant Mission: reliant.org/cppGathering Disciples CohortNewBreed TrainingMissionbyBusiness.comThanks for listening to the church planter podcast.

There are a lot of misconceptions about the role of the Holy Spirit in church planting, but the key thing to keep in mind is that manifestations of God's grace cannot be systematized or predicted.
