Following the previous week's messages on Miracles, Ps Andy takes a 'Selah Sunday' to summarise the key points from all the previous messages and further emphasise the common themes across the whole of scripture where miracles are described.Multiplication of provision, be it loaves and fish, oil in a jar, grain and oil to make a loaf of bread are all a result of people experiencing God increase things in their lives. Ps Andy then goes on to speak about the common denominators in these miracles (and many more miracles all across the whole of scripture). Miracles, always followed unusual, unreasonable, often unfathomable quite crazy requests coming directly from God or a prophet. When a person dared to do what they were being told to do in obedience, suddenly what God had promised them or intended for them came into being! But for them to come into the promised experience, they had to step out by faith, usually defying their own reasoning to do what God had told them to do.Stepping out by faith and walking by faith causes us to enter into the promised things that God has for us. God has promised things for us all in situations we face daily, sometimes that look hopeless. Have we got the faith and the courage, sometimes along with with wise council, to step into that which God is asking us to do?We should, because we have already experienced the greatest miracle ever likely to happen in our lives when we gave our life to Christ!
God uses ordinary people to multiply His Church through faith, courage, transformation, and humility. We're called to be available—carrying others to Christ, standing for truth, and trusting God's authority. Through our lives, God can bring healing, salvation, and kingdom expansion to those around us.

Welcome to episode 166 of the podcast. In this episode, we take you into Northland, New Zealand, where leaders like Dave, Graham, Sam, and others are wrestling with one central question: How can Discovery Bible Study (DBS) become more than a method—and instead spark a movement of disciple-making in our own context? You'll hear stories of breakthrough, honest questions about challenges, and the shift from teaching to facilitating—from knowledge to revelation. Whether it's with a Muslim family, a church congregation, or people in the harvest, DBS is opening hearts to the Word and multiplying impact. Let's move beyond theory and explore how DBS can be lived out—simply, reproducibly, and powerfully—wherever you are.
In this episode, Paul Nixon interviews Stacey Piyakhun, Director of Multiplication for Horizon Texas Conference. Their conversation focuses on the ways that church planting is morphing in the 2020s.
Jesus didn't just gather disciples—He empowered and sent them. Focusing on the sending aspect of disciple-making: equipping disciples to multiply by going out and making more disciples themselves. We'll examine how Jesus gradually entrusted responsibility to His followers and released them to minister, even before they were fully mature. The goal is to help leaders today develop a multiplication mindset, creating disciples who are empowered, not dependent. (Disciples who will make Disciples who make disciples)

Episode SummaryIn this gripping episode of the GoMission podcast, Mark Gilmore sits down with Brother Deepraj to hear his incredible testimony of salvation and transformation. Born into a radical religious family and labeled "unholy" from birth, Deepraj endured unimaginable rejection, abuse, and spiritual confusion.

God's strategy has always been multiplication, not accumulation. In this weeks Leadership Lesson, Pastor Josh Kelsey unpacks Numbers 11 and the moment when God took the Spirit that was on Moses and placed it on the seventy elders, showing us that leadership was never meant to be carried alone. Impartation happens when the burden outweighs our capacity, and it's in those moments we learn this was never about us, it's always been God. If you've been carrying the weight of leadership, ministry, or vision alone, this episode is a prophetic reminder that multiplication requires unity, surrender, and supernatural trust. Pastor Josh challenges us to ask: Who are you gathering? Are you creating space for others? Are you submitted before you're leading?
The Miracle of Multiplication is nothing compared to the Miracle of Consecration. Enjoy this week's homily.
Date: June 22, 2025Series: Acts - The Church on MissionPassage: Acts 6:1-7Preacher: Pastor Edgar Aponte
Discipleship doesn't happen by accident—it grows through intentional systems, equipped leaders, and a church culture that values transformation over attendance. As small group and discipleship leaders, we carry the weight of cultivating environments where spiritual growth is possible, but the path toward healthy group ministry can often feel unclear or overwhelming.On today's episode, host Brian Daniel welcomes longtime discipleship strategist Rick Howerton for a deep dive into the evolution and current state of group ministry. Together, they unpack the non-negotiables for a growing, sustainable groups strategy, including the importance of clear systems, visionary leadership, and ongoing training and credentialing for group pastors.Rick shares tried-and-true strategies for launching new groups, strengthening existing ones, and expanding the infrastructure needed to support a growing discipleship movement. He also highlights the distinction between coaching versus managing leaders, and how the right relational investment can unlock exponential growth. The episode concludes with an introduction to Rick's Group Pastor Master Class Cohort, designed to equip leaders with practical tools and seasoned mentorship for long-term ministry impact.If you're looking to grow your groups ministry and multiply disciples with purpose and clarity, this conversation will give you the inspiration—and the blueprint—to do just that.

BJ's top 5 CliftonStrengths are: Woo, Communication, Maximizer, Input and Competition BJ met Jesus on a very hungover walk across campus his freshman year at the University of Florida (Go Gators!). He graduated with a history degree and a lifelong conviction: God is always faithful to His promises. Through college ministry, he met his wife Rachel, and nearly eight years later, they're raising 3.2 kids—Elijah, Gracie, Mackenzie Joy, and “Fluffy,” due December '25! BJ serves as the Director of Multiplication at the Church of Eleven22, where he helps people “get in the game” with the mission of God. When he's not chasing around people telling them to give their lives to Jesus and the Great Commission, you can find him coaching Eli's little league team, shooting clays at the skeet range, or nurturing a rack of ribs on the back porch smoker.

Most people are completely stuck in what I call the arithmetic trap. They think: I make $1000, then I make another $1000, then another $1000. Addition thinking. Linear thinking. Poor thinking. But exponential thinkers? They see $1000 becoming $2000, becoming $4000, becoming $8000. They understand multiplication, not addition. Most people think money grows like climbing stairs - one step at a time. But exponential wealth? That grows like a nuclear reaction. One becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight, eight becomes sixteen... and by the time you get to the twentieth step, that single dollar has become over a million. By the end of this activation, you'll never think about money the same way again. Your relationship with wealth, with opportunity, with your own financial potential is about to shift so dramatically that it's either going to excite you beyond belief... or terrify you because you'll realize how much abundance you've been blocking.

Welcome jet pilot, pastor, and author Ricky Brown to unpack the five “hazardous attitudes” every church leader must watch out for—straight from FAA training and powerfully applied to ministry.

Ricky's new book, The 5 Hazardous Attitudes: Ways to Win the War Within, breaks these down through powerful fables and life lessons.
