Mark Artrip felt God’s leading to plant a church for a long time. In 2012, he and his family launched out of a suburban megachurch to plant a church that would last churches. Movement Church (just West of Columbus, Ohio) is now a church-planting parent to three congregations around the city with plans for more.

Gary and Mark not only share a love for the church and pastoring, but a love of the NBA, road trips, and talking.

If you’re a church planting pastor, you’ll love hearing Mark talk about the different seasons of church planting and how to build healthy friendships and habits and family time from the very start. Pastor life is challenging enough, but planting a brand new church almost from scratch is quite a lift, even for the Artrips. Check out Mark’s conversation with Gary as Mark was in the midst of a six-hour road trip to another pastor conference….
