I made one crucial fundraising mistake that likely cost our church plant between one to two hundred thousand dollars! And the crazy thing is I didn't even realize it until it was just about too late. If you're getting ready to fundraise for your church plant, then I want to show you exactly what I did wrong and give you a simple formula so that you don't have to make the same mistake!

You don’t actually need a big launch team to launch big and plant a healthy church. We only had 12 official people on our launch team, but we still had 125 people show up on opening day. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try to build the biggest team possible. But here's what's even more important: A small group of people who are passionate about your God-given mission, vision, and values will be FAR more effective than a large group of people who are there but not quite as bought in. In this episode we'll look at the five things you should do to build the right team. And if you use these five tips, not only will you launch strong, but you'll start on day one with a church and a culture that you LOVE. A church and culture you're excited to be a part of, because you'll have the right people to get you there.

As a church planter, you've got a ton to do. Fundraising, team building, location scouting, vision casting, message writing, toilet cleaning... in other words, if it's got to get done--as a church planter--you're the one doing it. So, what do you do when the weight of all your responsibilities becomes too heavy? What do do when it's just too much? I have been there many times. And today, I want to give you a plan that will help you overcome the weight of loneliness, overwhelm, and confusion that church planning can throw on you.

Is Church Planting Right for You? Here's How to Know: Church planting sounds exciting at first—when everything feels possible and the vision is clear. But then the "what ifs" start creeping in: What if no one shows up? What if funding falls through? What if you can't sustain it? In this video, I'm sharing a practical framework to help you gain clarity on whether church planting is truly the right step for you. You'll discover how to build the confidence needed to push past fear, loneliness, and those inevitable doubts that every church planter faces. If you've been wrestling with the call to plant, this one's for you.

Most people you want to reach will never step inside a church building on their own. So how do you connect with them in a way that actually builds trust instead of pushing them away?

In this episode, we'll talk through a simple but powerful shift in mindset and clear next steps that can help turn your church into a people reaching machine.

If you're thinking about planting a church—or you're already in the trenches of church planting—there's a good chance you've had moments where you've considered doing just about anything else. Maybe you've secretly scrolled through church staffing websites, fantasized about starting a business, or even thought about becoming a barista.

The pressure is real. Despite sensing God's call to start a new church, the weight of it all can feel overwhelming, leaving you questioning whether you really heard from Him and wondering if risking everything to plant a church is actually the right move.

Today, I want to share the one question that will either give you the confidence to keep going or the awareness that now might not be the right time.

Are you hesitating to plant a church because you're wondering if God has actually called you to do this? If so, what we're about to discuss might just be the clarity you need to not only know if you're called, but to know exactly when you should get started.
