When we think about church planting, what often comes to mind is really starting a worship service. Yet in the first century, the Apostle Paul didn't walk around advertising worship services; he sowed the seeds of the gospel, watered through discipleship, and reaped a church plant as a harvest. It might be hard to imagine church planting in a world without big budgets, flashy websites, and ninja-like marketing tactics, but rest assured, it's done all over the world. Listen to the common thread in this introductory episode.

We often define success in leadership by power and fame. The more people see a leader and the more people that answer to a leader means that leader has made it. But the overwhelming burden of concentrated power was not the way God designed us to live and lead. Instead, we ought to be focused on raising up and sending out more leaders to carry the mission forward. We've talked to church planters all over the world, and although you haven't heard of all their names, it will be hard to discount their Kingdom impact.

Ministry is a team sport. If you make all the decisions yourself, carry the weight of responsibility yourself, and look only to yourself for wisdom, then you're going to get burned out. Ministry work, especially church planting, should be done in teams. Jesus trained teams, Paul trained teams, and we should too.
