On this episode I talk to Kip and Bethany Harms from San Luis Obispo, California.  Kip and Bethany have planted many churches and have served in churches all over the US.  Most recently they took over a church that hadn’t had professional leadership in fifteen years and helped it grow by 50% since they took over.  Listen as they talk about how to:

• Overcome setbacks and disappointment in the ministry
• How to keep the passion burning for Christ at all ages
• What they’ve learned after planting many new churches
• How to approach, lead and make grow a church that has experienced division and lack of professional leadership for years
