Let’s start having the hard conversations that move the Church forward. Is church planting just a trendy distraction from revitalization? Or is it exactly what the LCMS needs right now? In this powerful conversation, Tim Ahlman sits down with Mark and Laura Pulliam—founders of Lazarus Church in Spring, Texas—who planted just 10 weeks before the pandemic… and thrived. Together they confront outdated models of ministry, risk-aversion in Lutheran leadership, and why launching new churches might be our best tool for reaching the de-churched and unchurched. Hear why their church didn’t worship publicly for 18 months, why being “Lutheran” isn’t always on the sign, and why church planting is more accessible than most think.<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1962293/support">Support the show</a><a href='https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMbPp2EY2cv1mrlaijhbiWjXM1y051vA-'>Watch Us On Youtube! </a>
