Many people aren't transformed by their involvement with a church because the church does not have a defined transformation process. We expect people to magically become more like Jesus without any intentionality. Chestly and Pete talk about how to build a process that anyone in your church can go through and help lead.

We're back with another Wednesday episode, the next in our Wednesday series on rethinking evangelism and reaching lost people. Today, Mat and Robert discuss the evolving views on religion in the U.S. and the importance of being present in order to join where the Spirit is already moving in the world around you. They explore the shift in American society towards a non-majority religious population, highlighting the continued spiritual hunger and the role of shared experiences that foster a sense of belonging, the power of vulnerability and the value of creating soft spaces for people to care for one another.

Look out next week for a discussion on how to have gospel conversations with the people of peace in your life!

Church planters have the opportunity to set their culture for all sorts of leadership practices including empowering the next generation, developing women, and creating systems of accountability. Kadi Cole and Chestly discuss all of these critical topics and why church planters need to think hard and plan carefully so that they don't end up perpetuating the example of many established churches that often fail in these areas.
