In this episode of the New Churches podcast, host Tony Merida is joined by Matt Smethurst and Daniel Santander to discuss one of the most essential tasks of a church planter: making disciples. As part of a season focused on answering common questions from planters, the conversation explores how to faithfully pursue discipleship in a new church in 21st-century North America. The hosts talk about how to disciple new believers in a church plant, why church membership should be a priority from the beginning, and how to wisely launch key ministries like small groups, children’s ministry, and men’s and women’s discipleship. Listeners will gain practical guidance and pastoral wisdom for cultivating a healthy culture of disciple-making in the life of a new church.
