Have you ever heard of church hoppers?  Have you ever BEEN a church hopper?  Is this phenomenon OK?  Is it a God thing or is it one of the devil's tools?

And, what about the pastor's role in such activity?  Especially church planters?  Many church planters are perhaps more focused on church growth than any other kind of minister in any other branch of ministry, and rightfully so.  But, does the church planter build with disgruntled saints from other churches, or with baby believers freshly rescued from slime-pits of sin.  Or... can he benefit from both; from both kinds of growth.  Maybe not disgruntled saints, but seed families who are seasoned servants of the Lord leaving one church to bless another - can't that be part of the strategy?  And can established churches send their own members out with a blessing, not just as missionaries, but at participating members?

On this episode Dave and Patrick are joined by a church planter from over in Seaford, Deleware.  Pastor Gil Vargas is the pastor-teacher of Hope Bible Church.  It is a young church plant that is growing rapidly.  Listen as the 3 preachers discuss the challenges and blessings of church planting.
