How does one engineer multiplication into their church DNA? This week we hear from Guy Mason, and the incredible journey of City on a Hill. City on a Hill has now multiplied into 8 physical locations (as well as online), and God willing many more! But did it always start like that? What was the measuring tool? How did City on a Hill identify, recruit, and raise up leaders? We think you'll enjoy this candid conversation with Guy Mason.

Meaningful Online Connection 

We have all realised over the last 2 years that the Online space is here to stay. Aussies in droves went online during the pandemic, if not well before, but how is the church thinking deeply about how it might be able to engage people meaningfully? This week we are joined by Reuben Skewes, who is the Global Content Manager for Christian Vision (yesHeis), a global ministry with a mission to introduce people to Jesus and encourage them to become his true followers. This interview has some absolute gems!

Heartache. 

Church planting is both the most exilarating experience, but also one filled with high's and lows. This week we are joined by Matt Sparks, who along with a team has planted and led Anchor Church in Sydney, which in 8 short years has now grown to 3 locations. But it comes at a cost: people, resource, and energy. Matt shares about how one practically embraces this and moves towards all Christ is calling them towards.

Cities and renewal. 

Many of us ache for God to break out as we have seen in our histories. But how do we practically go about cultivating the culture and posture of our hearts? This week we are joined by an Australian export, Jon Tyson. Jon has become a world renowned leader by way of church planting in cities, and particularly when it comes to prayer, renewal, and acute cultural observation. You will be blessed by this interview!

How do we handle leadership succession and transition? This is one of the great challenges for the church in this season, especially as we hope to see many more churches planted and multiplied in Australia. Archie Coates, the vicar designate and successor to Nicky Gumbel at HTB, shares with us his journey of planting St Peter’s in Brighton, raising up leaders, and opportunities for each of us to be stretched. https://exponential.org.au/

Conviction and staying in your lane. This week Tim and Victoria Giovenelli share that whole gammit of their church planting journey. What it means to stick to your guns when things seem tough, the transience of people and when it just feels overwhelming. But also what it means to create a space where the important things of prayer, evangelism, and life-giving community are prioritised. Furthermore, Tim and Victoria share on how the local church can maintain that pioneering spirit in reaching the lost, and the exhilitaring adventure of ongoing planting. https://exponential.org.au/

Do you have a strategy? One of the bold invitations is to re-imagine and with God’s helps strategise opportunities into the future. Join us this week as we hear from David O’Connor, who has been able to help a local church get a vision for church planting beyond themselves into fresh opportunities all around them. https://exponential.org.au/

How are we providing opportunities for leaders to be raised up? Join us this week as we hear from Keri Ladouceur, who leads the largest female-led Church in the US. Keri has a wide range of incredible leadership experiences, and she shares how she has been able to see incredible female leaders raised up in some of the ministries she has been able to help lead. https://exponential.org.au/

What does hope look like for you?
