It’s a powerful moment as they share what thoughts, attitudes, or beliefs they are choosing to abandon as a result of the training. After sharing with the group, they place the “leaving behind” Post-It note on my drawing of the trash can.

I was coaching a church planter recently who asked this question:

We cannot fulfill the Great Commission simply through the expansion of existing churches. Nor can we accomplish our mission merely through the addition of new churches. We must focus on multiplication, planting a variety of dynamic churches that will grow and reproduce. – Dr. Steve Ogne

Missional activity must begin where people live.

I love training and coaching church planters!

Every time I teach or train on Missional Living or Church Planting, I draw three circles on a large poster paper. This is the simplest way for me to explain what aligning with the mission of Jesus looks like.

Understanding the people that God has called you to reach is a necessary part of the process of engaging in the mission of Jesus!

Planting churches is hard work! Most church planters know this.

Martin Robinson and Dwight Smith’s book Invading Secular Space challenges the Church to live out the mission of Jesus!

My passion is to accelerate exponential disciplemaking movements that transform America and beyond!
