In this episode of the New Churches podcast, host Noah Oldham is joined by Vergil Brown and Daniel Santander to explore one of the most pressing challenges every church planter faces: how to lead well. As part of a season focused on the “how” questions of church planting, the conversation unpacks a biblical vision of leadership—what it is, how planters should think about their role, and why leadership is more than just a title. The discussion also dives into the practical side of leadership, highlighting the attitudes, actions, and attributes necessary to faithfully lead teams, staff, and volunteers with wisdom and integrity. The episode concludes with a much-needed conversation on leading effective meetings, offering practical guidance for planning, facilitating, and following up in ways that foster clarity and momentum. Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of biblical leadership, along with actionable insights to help them lead with purpose, humility, and effectiveness in the context of church planting.
