This is our 7th Most Common Objection to Church Multiplication, "It's Too Risky". Everything we do in life carries some form of risk, you can't eliminate it all. But you don't have to be unwise and risky either. There are so many great resources, strategies, training and coaching that helps set up a new disciple-making communities for success way better than in the past. We discuss these things and more with our special guest John Albiston from the ABNWT District Resource centre. Check it out!

This is our 6th most common objection to church multiplication; "There aren't enough resources". This objection finds its roots in a scarcity mentality. But where does good stewardship fit in here? Where does faith and risk fit in? Why don't we have enough resources? We are grateful to have Wendy Payne who is the leader of the New Churches Network in the PAOC Western Ontario District on the podcast to help us chew through some of these questions and so much more!

This is the fifth episode of the series called The 8 Most Common Objections to Church Multiplication. This objection is around idea that churches are simply not ready to plant. Is that true? Are existing churches not in the right place to multiply?  Are they using that as an excuse to not prepare themselves for multiplication? We are grateful to have Jim Molloy from the PAOC Maritimes District to jump on the call and help us chew through this very common objection!

We are in the fourth episode of this series called The 8 Most Common Objections to Church Multiplication. This objection is around the thoughts that all new churches hurt existing churches by taking people away. Is it true? Do new church plants steal sheep? Should existing churches lead more with a sending mindset? Do we need better communication between pastors when they are leading in the same community? Dave Slater from the Western Ontario District Office of the PAOC is here to answer all of our questions! See what our hosts and special guest have to say!

We are in the third episode of our new podcast series called "The 8 most Common Objections to Church Multiplication". This objection is around the idea that all our efforts need to be about revitalizing churches not starting new ones. Where do you think this objection is rooted? Does this have some validity? Should we stop planting new churches until the majority of our existing churches are out of plateau and decline? Or is there a both/and strategy instead of an either/or one?See what our hosts and special guest have to say!

We are in the second episode of our brand new podcast series called "The 8 Most Common Objections to Church Multiplication". Objections #2 is "we already have enough churches".  The objection here is based on the idea, "we already have so many churches here in Canada, why do we need any more?" Is this a valid objection? Our cohosts for the series, Paul Fraser and Michael Bronson, tackle this topic head on with special guest Jim Molloy and chat through how we overcome this objection!

We are kicking off a brand new podcast series called "The 8 Most Common Objections to Church Multiplication". Objections #1 is "we don't have enough leaders".  How will we have enough leaders to start new works when we don't have enough to fill our existing churches? Is this a valid objection? Our cohosts for the series, Paul Fraser and Michael Bronson, tackle this topic head on and talk about what we can do to overcome this objection!

In this months podcast we tackle the topic of stewarding millennials and the younger generations in our churches. James Clarence from First Assembly in Calgary, along with his leadership team, are doing innovative and intentional discipleship for grade 9 up to millennial ages in their church. They have engaged a ministry school model that is producing great disciples and he shares some of the things they are doing and learning as they continue to grow their discipleship pathways. Hopefully, as a result of this podcast, you will be challenged and inspired to increase your efforts in reaching, developing and discipling millennials and younger.

In this episode with talk with the co-lead pastors of Forest City Church in Burnaby BC, Jordan and Amy Baker about their replanting journey.
