In this gripping first installment, Ralph sits down with Keeya Vawar to unpack her unimaginable journey—from surviving domestic violence and running away from home, to being trafficked as a teenager by figures in the music industry. Keeya shares how her story of exploitation became the foundation for a powerful ministry, reaching others who are walking the same dark road she once did. This episode sets the stage for a testimony of redemption that only God could write.

In Part 3, Ralph and Daniel dive into the messy miracle of church mergers. Daniel explains how his small but missionally agile church merged with a grieving congregation twice its size—and how culture, not structure, was the real challenge. He shares practical wisdom for leading through ethnic, generational, and stylistic diversity with humility, relational investment, and a long view of culture formation. The episode closes with a heartfelt encouragement to small church pastors: your faithfulness matters more than your numbers.

Topics Covered:

• Why culture—not systems—is the key to a successful merger
• Leading with your life before you cast vision
• Building a third culture through relationship
• Encouragement for small church pastors: redefine success

In Part 2, Daniel opens up about the early grind of bi-vocational ministry—selling women’s shoes by day and planting a church by night. He shares creative, relational approaches to mission: running an open mic in a downtown bar, starting third-space Bible studies near recovery meetings, and building trust with unchurched locals. You’ll hear how an offhand comment from a friend sparked an Easter launch—and why Daniel believes slow, relational, Spirit-led planting builds deeper foundations than launch-day hype.

Topics Covered:

• How to fund a parachute church plant
• Making disciples through bar open mics and kickball teams
• Third spaces vs. Sunday gatherings
• Starting with the Gospel instead of the event

In Part 1 of this inspiring conversation, Ralph Moore sits down with Daniel Williams, lead pastor of Calvary Chapel of the Palm Beaches. Daniel shares his roots growing up in a Calvary Chapel church planting family, the moment he made faith his own, and how a missions trip ignited his calling. He recounts his journey from a youth group Bible study to an accidental church plant in Washington—and eventually to a Spirit-led parachute plant 3,000 miles away in South Florida. You’ll hear about planting without a team, reaching people in recovery, and building church in one of the most unchurched parts of the U.S.

Topics Covered:

• How a missions trip changed Daniel’s life
• The spiritual hunger he found in hard places
• Parachute planting without a core team
• Why church planting isn’t the same as starting services

Raising people up to send out as church planters is a daunting task. A flurry of questions present themselves: where do I find a leader, how do I prepare them, who will replace them? In this episode, Matt and Christine flip the script and dig into how Ralph identified, trained, and replaced church planters while leading the Hope Chapel Movement

Much of the Church in the U.S. needs new life breathed into it, just as it did when Ralph starting multiplying Hope Chapels. In this episode, Matt and Christine talk about the vision that Greenhouse Church has to saturate Florida through disciple making, mirroring what happened with Hope Chapel. This conversation is packed with insight, reflection, and driving factors behind being used by God: surrender and humility.

It's easy and common to turn church gatherings into preaching events where just hear a message and leave. Jesus though was highly relational and disciple making should follow His pattern. Greenhouse Church in Florida follows this relational emphasis.

In this podcast, you'll hear from two of Greenhouse's pastors who are focused on church planting – Matt Ulrich and Christine Sepulveda. Their personal stories and focus on planting new works draw out the importance of creating spaces where people can feel seen and accepted.

If Jesus showed up today, would he be welcome in most churches? Perhaps not, and that's what Alan and Ralph unpack in this episode. Christians should be known for being like Jesus and helping others be like him as well. Too often, we let other things get in the way, but this conversation helps us refocus on what's most important.

Alan Hirsch helped to open up a new way of thinking among church planters and leaders all over the world. But what made him start writing and speaking prophetically? What shaped his ministry along the way? Ralph and Alan talk about their younger years and how formative moments and God's persistent pressing created the unique voice that they both brought to the evangelical world.

David Cobia's church focuses on helping people establish new rhythms that lead to spiritual growth. Their gatherings are designed to help facilitate each individual's journey through encouragement and invitation. Together, David and Ralph talk about the unique initiatives that David has spearheaded and how others can jump in and benefit from the path he's blazed.
