Exponential NEXT Podcast

This episode features a talk by Dimetra Barrios from Exponential’s Divided No More Resource Kit.

Then, co-hosts Jason Dukes and Santes Beatty host a conversation and take Q&A.

In the video, Dimetra talks about how we build our churches as castles. How does understanding privilege help us refocus on building God’s kingdom instead of our own castles?

Why is it so difficult to see our own privilege?

How does Jesus give us an image of laying down our privilege?

What are some practical ways that we can lay down our privilege or use it to empower those less privileged?

Join us for Episode 14 with co-hosts Peyton Jones and Daniel Yang as they show and then discuss a feature presentation from Carey Nieuwhof and Todd Wilson.

Todd and Carey will address questions about:

The future of church growth

Why trying to get people back into buildings might be an old church planting strategy

The future of innovative church planting

Plus, Todd talks in-depth about how church funding models can adversely impact real innovation in church planting.

The Frontlines program seeks to encourage and equip pastors and planters to better understand and navigate the current and future trends in church ministry. Hosted by veteran church multiplication leaders, each episode invites thought leaders and advanced practitioners in ministry to inform and inspire pastors and planters as they continue in day-to-day ministry.

The uncertainty, stress, and loneliness affecting church planters and pastors seems like it is at an all-time high. Each week, church leaders are faced with more and more complex issues to solve and decisions to make. And, even the best decisions made by church leadership teams seem to only result in more uncertainty and questioning by their congregation. This 12-episode weekly show will host conversations on the current issues church leaders are facing. Being on the frontlines of Kingdom advancement as pastor or church planter is a constant barrage of uncertainty and challenges.

Leadership Development through church planting faces tough decisions every day.

Church planters often find, financial insecurity, market volatility, and the simple question of “how can we fund this next needed leader,” as barriers to the mission. This causes leadership development to slow down and the missional movement we desire seemingly stall.

What if these tough decisions were not dictated by the financial realities facing each unique context?

What if a simple and biblical funding model could provide a needed catalyst to our leadership development that will aid taking the gospel to our communities, cities, and ultimately the ends of the earth?
