In this episode, the guys continue to talk to Dave on the planting phase of church planting. They discuss the ins and outs of finding the core members of your group that will help launch you into the planting of the church itself.

 

Questions Discussed: 

How do you begin to talk to that core group/person to connect with them? 

What does it look like trying to build that team up as a group? 

What's the core group member of your dreams?

How do you begin to identify the members that will become your 'Peter, James, John' group? 

 

Key Takeaways: 

Casting the vision for the church is important. If you can't cast the vision and get people on board with it, it's not going to work. 

You've got to be with people before they can respond to Jesus. They have to get to know you. They have to know you care about them, love them, before they'll be open to hear the Word of Christ and accept Him. 

Prayer is very important in every stage of the process.
