Scott Cheatham, CEO of e3 Partners, on Missional Collaboration in Global Church Planting (Ep. 117)


Listen Later

Scott Cheatham, CEO of e3 Partners and I Am Second, was raised in a Christian, entrepreneurial family in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Scott started off in the business world as a successful entrepreneur living the American dream. But God got his attention in a powerful way, and led him to sell it all without knowing where God was taking him next. Through baby steps of radical obedience, God led his family to the nations to plant churches in one of the darkest places in the world.  

Today, Scott’s business expertise and church planting experience have come together as he leads e3’s church planting network across over 100 countries. Scott is also closely involved with the Coalition of the Willing, a massive coordination effort among church planting organizations to see the gospel reach every person and village.   

Major topics include:

  • Scott’s inspiring story of radical obedience to God
  • Maturing a church plant into a healthy church
  • Building accountability structures in church plants
  • Tips for telling your story and sharing the gospel
  • Collaboration between church planting organizations to advance the gospel
  • QUOTES TO REMEMBER
    • “The more obedient we were to Jesus, the more we were prompted to want to do more.”
    • “We have a mission statement for our family and it’s simply this: Lord, help us to leverage every give, talent, and resource You have given us for the full extent of Your glory.”
    • “Our life with Jesus is just baby steps of incremental obedience.”
    • “We should be asking, ‘Lord, open our minds and our hearts to the opportunities that we have in front of us to have spiritual conversations.’”
    • “There’s not power in your words. There’s power in Jesus’ words.”
    • “God’s the one who does the work.”
    • “When we speak the truth in love, God does the work.”
    • “All God is asking for us is the simplicity of obedience.”
    • “God is setting the world’s stage for hope in Jesus.”
    • “Ask yourself, ‘Where am I investing in lostness?’”

        Acts 2:43-47 | The New Testament Church

        And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
