A training culture for the next generation: Healthy Churches producing new ministers for the next generation.Across the world, the number of candidates putting themselves forward for gospel ministry is in decline. Many churches are feeling the pinch—struggling to find leaders and often looking elsewhere to fill ministry gaps. Yet healthy churches don't just maintain ministry; they reproduce it. They raise up and send out the next generation of gospel workers.This week in Sydney, a group of evangelical movement leaders from across the globe have gathered to sharpen one another in this task: creating a culture of training that will multiply gospel workers for the decades ahead. The shift they are calling for is from passively plotting decline to actively asking, What are we going to do?—and then taking decisive steps toward it.We're joined this afternoon by three of those symposium participants. From the UK, Robin Sydserff of the Proclamation Trust. From Santiago, Chile, Matt Pope—pastor and trainer of pastors in five Latin American countries, formerly of St Ebbe's in Oxford. And from Cleveland, Ohio, Marty Sweeny—pastor for training at Old North Church and long-time champion of multiplying ministry apprentices.The Church Cothechurchco.com is a website and app platform built specifically for churches.

Almost every church says they preach the Bible, follow Jesus, and care about discipleship. Yet, we all know there's a big difference between a healthy church and one that's not.

When leaders fall, entire communities feel the shockwaves. In this sobering yet hope-filled message from 1 Timothy 5:17–6:2, we confront the importance of integrity in spiritual leadership, especially in light of recent headlines that have rocked the Christian world.What does it mean to lead with character when the spotlight fades? How can churches protect both the innocent and the vulnerable? How do we raise up the next generation of faithful leaders? And what does Father's Day teach us about the weight—and power—of a father's influence?Join us as we explore four vital spheres of leadership integrity: compensation, accusation, ordination, and vocation. Whether you're a pastor, parent, employer, or just someone trying to walk faithfully with Christ—this message is for you.

Alex Duke, Director of Training and Sending at 3rd Avenue Baptist Church and Senior Editor at 9 Marks joins the podcast. Kyle and Alex discuss the perils of separating youth from the larger Church body as well as some principles healthy churches should strive for. They cover topics like communion, baptism, membership and more. Alex and Kyle agree that healthy churches are likelier to produce lasting disciples. Alex explains the goals of expository preaching and encourages youth pastors to stick around for the long haul as we never know what kind of seeds we are planting and what work the Holy Spirit will do later in the lives of the students we've ministered to.
