Dan Steel joins Andy and Thomas to discuss church planting. Dan is a pastor based in Oxford (UK), but with a background in church planting.

They talk about why church plants fail, and what failure means. With that in mind, what is a successful church plant? Why do we see church plants as a "restaurant" rather than a "family meal"? Thomas and Andy talk about their own experiences of ministry, too - and how difficult it can be to express times of challenge.

Dan references his paper in this episode. That, and more info about Dan, can be accessed here: https://plantingquestions.com/
