Episode 4.0 Notes: Books to Read in 2019 (and Gnomes)

As a churchplanter you need to be very intentional about your life.

“A pastor must exemplify a livable Christianity.” -Eugene Peterson

How do live out being missional everyday?

Churchplanting has shown me how reliant we must be on prayer.

Sitting in praying feel like wasted time to a driven churchplanter, but is essential to church planting.

We need to pray like a child.

As church planters we all know we need to pray, but most of us struggle to actually pray.

The way you need to lead can fluctuate rapidly in churchplanting.

We need to make disciples who makes disciples who makes disciples if we want to plant churches that plant churches.

If we build another consumer Christian church we’re not going to change North America.

Pastors see people today as a platform to exalt themselves, rather than as a people to lay down your life for.
