In this episode of the New Churches podcast, host Noah Oldham is joined by Tony Merida and Adam Muhtaseb to address one of the most frequently used—and often misunderstood—ideas in church planting: vision. As part of a season focused on the “how” questions of church planting, the conversation explores what vision truly is, how a planter faithfully casts vision, and why clarity and consistency matter more than creativity alone. The discussion also dives into the practical work of writing vision and values, as well as the role of a church planting prospectus—what it should include, what it should avoid, and how it serves planters as they raise support, recruit a team, and invite others into the mission. Listeners will walk away with biblical grounding, seasoned counsel, and practical tools for leading others toward a shared, God-given future.
