In this episode we discuss:

• The Start, stereo types, & working with other planters.
• The confirmation from the Lord on being a pastor.
• Where is there a gospel need?
• Practical moments & trying to build trust and relationships.
• Big picture of the church - who we want to be, where do we want to focus our missional energy, what are the rhythms of the week, & where are we going with our discipleship plan?
• High level decisions.
• Wisdom and a multitude of counselors.
• Pastoral and Core Team.
• Crippling despondency and a cloud of despair.
• A trusted colleague.
• I may not be a pastor or a planter for the rest of my life, but I will be a follower of Jesus by His grace. I will be a husband. I will be a father.
• Church planting is the most effective way to reach new people with the gospel, yet it’s not a priority for so many.
• Commitment to the mission of God particularly through church planting.
