Technology can be a powerful tool for sharing the gospel, making disciples, and planting churches. Sometimes, our temptation is to either build a media empire that generates views and likes for the sake of influence, or spurning media altogether in pursuit of holiness. Dr. Hormoz Shariat, founder of Iran Alive Ministries, shares with us how he has used media to catalyze a network of underground churches in Iran, charting a middle path and setting an example for church planters everywhere. You can learn more about his ministry at iranalive.org Thanks for listening to the church planter podcast.

CPP #534: Cultivating a Missionary Mindset with Steve Hyatt

When Jesus trained the Twelve, he was prepping them for the Great Commission. Believers have always been meant to go on mission, but mission tends to get left by the wayside after a church plant gets going. How can you prevent that? Peyton Jones has some thoughts in this episode. Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode:Reliant Mission: reliant.org/cppNewBreed TrainingMissionbyBusiness.com
