Everyone has an opinion in a church plant and there's nothing wrong with simply voicing it. However, some people will try to manipulate you into doing what they want, and you can't allow that sort of behavior to take hold and become the norm in a new church. In this episode, Peyton and Pete talk about the ways people may try to manipulate you and how to handle those kinds of interactions.

Churches have been focusing on two categories of people for decades: Christians and non-Christians. But what if that's too simplistic? Daniel Im believes we need to add one dimension to this mindset if we want to understand and reach the people in our communities.

As you're getting ready to plant your church (or in these early stages of church planting), what do you consider success? Sticking with ministry until the end? Establishing yourself as a reliable voice in your community? Having an impact on your neighborhood? Changing the culture? 

Today, Robert and Mat dive into these questions, exploring the concept of

ministry for the long haul" in church planting, the challenges and benefits of church growth, and the reasons for planting churches in new areas. They talk through the attractional model versus a mission-focused model in church leadership, the importance of long-term community engagement, and the pros and cons of the 'launch large model' for church plant networks.

When Jesus trained the Twelve, he was prepping them for the Great Commission. Believers have always been meant to go on mission, but mission tends to get left by the wayside after a church plant gets going. How can you prevent that? Peyton Jones has some thoughts in this episode.

For today's episode of the Church Planter Podcast, Robert is live with Chris Backert, pastor, author, the senior director of Fresh Expressions NA, and leader in the Ascent movement. The two talk all things mission and evangelical witness. They discuss the decline of traditional denominationalism in the church and the emergence of new forms of church expressions, including microchurches and networks, and explore the challenges and opportunities faced by church planters, the concept of a "blended ecology of church," and the cyclical nature of church growth and decline. They end with a discussion on the importance of engaging with children and youth, the need for better theological education, and the potential of planting churches in less "desirable" areas. 

More on Chris Backert: 

Working with church leaders to develop new expressions of Christian community is the passion of Chris’s life. In addition to his role as Senior Director of Fresh Expressions NA, he serves with the Baptist General Association of Virginia in the area of growth and venture development. He also serves as National Director for both Ecclesia, a US network of missional churches, as well as Missio Alliance. Previously, he served as pastor of New Life Christian Fellowship, a large university congregation in Blacksburg, Virginia and has been involved in the planting of three new congregations. Chris holds a D.Min. in Missional Church Leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary. He lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania with wife Rachel, daughter Elliana and son Jase.
