Everything I Did Wrong as a Church Planter: A Million Part Series

About Everything I Did Wrong as a Church Planter: A Million Part Series

After nearly fourteen years in church planting ministry in Utah, my journey has been anything but predictable. From launching a mobile church and navigating a challenging church merger to leading a multi-site ministry and transitioning into a network of house churches, I've experienced it all—and learned countless lessons along the way. If I could do it all again, I’d do almost everything differently. This podcast shares my story and the stories of other planters from across the country. Together, we aim to equip the next generation of church planters to avoid unnecessary frustrations, heartaches, and missteps—saving valuable time, energy, and resources as they pursue their calling.
