Podcasts about Multiplication

Today, Ben sits down with Dominick Anton, a Catholic financial advisor based in Boise, Idaho, for a wide-ranging conversation that traces Dominick's vocational journey into financial planning and the deeper convictions that shape his work. Dominick shares how his early experiences, professional formation, and faith gradually converged into a calling centered on service, prudence, and long-term stewardship rather than salesmanship or short-term results. Together, they explore the importance of aligning financial advice with a client's values, the role of trust and relationship in the advisor–client dynamic, and how Catholic social teaching informs Dominick's understanding of money, responsibility, and human dignity. The discussion also touches on the challenges advisors face in a performance-driven industry, the temptation to overcomplicate solutions, and the quiet power of consistency, discipline, and moral clarity. Throughout the conversation, Ben and Dominick return to a shared conviction: financial planning, when done well, is not merely about portfolios and projections, but about helping families make confident decisions that support a stable, faithful, and well-ordered life over the long run.Key Takeaways:• Financial planning is best understood as a vocation rooted in service.• The financial industry can reward speed and performance over prudence.• Catholic social teaching provides a moral framework for financial advice.• Financial advice should reflect the dignity and individuality of each client.• Long-term thinking is a competitive advantage in financial advice.• Well-ordered finances support a well-ordered life.Key Timestamps:(01:12) – Faith, Finances, and Family(08:42) – Generational Woundedness and Healing(17:10) – The Role of a Financial Advisor(25:16) – The Multiplication of Loaves and Fishes(32:07) – Catholic Family Finances InitiativeKey Topics Discussed:Catholic Money Mastermind, Catholic financial planning, Catholic financial planners, Catholic financial advisors, Ben Martinek, faith and financesMentions:Website: https://catholicfinancialplanners.com/advisors/dominick-anton/More of Catholic Money Mastermind:Catholic Money Mastermind Podcast is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.

In this episode, Sam continues the Multiply series by emphasizing that true discipleship means not only following Jesus personally but actively participating in the work of ministry everywhere believers live, work, and relate. Drawing from Ephesians 4 and 2 Corinthians 5, the message centers on identity in Christ—highlighting that every believer is called to the ministry of reconciliation and equipped to help build up the body of Christ. The episode explores spiritual maturity as being rooted in Jesus rather than shaped by circumstances, stresses the importance of speaking truth in love, and encourages identity-based transformation over mere behavior change. Practical insights from habit formation reinforce the call to align daily life, community, and small consistent actions with the new identity believers have as new creations in Christ.

In this powerful conversation, Peyton sits down with his longtime mentor and friend, Larry Walkemeyer, to unpack why disciple-making must come before church multiplication, and why so many movements stall when they skip that step.Drawing from themes in Discipology and Larry's forthcoming book The Making of a Multiplier, this episode explores the deep connection between time, teaching, and tactics — the three rhythms of Jesus' disciple-making strategy that ultimately led to explosive Kingdom impact.Larry shares:Why the priesthood of all believers is the theological foundation of mobilizationHow relational disciple-making fuels true multiplicationA powerful personal vision that reshaped his ministry philosophyWhy you can't teach multiplication into existence The difference between a “lake mentality” and a “river mentality” churchYou'll also hear stories of everyday believers who became disciple-makers simply because someone walked closely with them long enough for the fire to catch.If you're passionate about church planting, leadership development, or seeing movements multiply, this episode will challenge you to slow down, go deep, and mobilize before you multiply.Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode:DiscipologyBook.comReliant Mission: reliant.org/cppNewBreed TrainingThanks for listening to the church planter podcast.

In this sermon, Pastor Tom preached from Acts 2:42-47. In this passage, we see the early church as a devoted church. A devoted church to spiritual things and not earthly things. Why were they devoted? Because they were a Spirit-filled church. They were indwelled by the Holy Spirit, dependent on the Holy Spirit, and controlled by the Holy Spirit. As they devoted themselves to spiritual things, God used their devotion to carry the gospel to the whole world! As followers of Jesus, what are we devoted to? Check out this sermon to learn more!

Welcome to the Influence Podcast! I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Ministers hear a lot about church multiplication these days. Sometimes, the phrase is little more than a synonym for church planting. Other times, it refers to multisite ministry in which one church exists in many locations. "Multiplication isn't just about strategy or structure," Gerad Strong writes, however. "It's about Spirit-empowered imagination. When we lead through the power of the Holy Spirit, we're not simply managing what is — we're awakening to what could be." In this episode, I talk to Gerad Strong about how ministers can develop this Spirit-empowered imagination. Strong is director of Leadership and Training for the Church Multiplication Network of the Assemblies of God. His new book is Multiplication Mindset: How Spirit-Empowered Leaders Build People, Not Just Platforms, forthcoming from Gospel Publishing House.   Sponsor Ad This episode of the Influence podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of As In Heaven.

Welcome to the “Wrap Party” where we dive a little deeper into Sunday's message. Tune in as we discuss the sermon. -Featuring Pastor Bryan

Moving Away From ComfortLeaders Are Self-Led "Remember not the former things… Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?" (Isaiah 43:18–19, ESV) Friday nights in the 90s often started with a drive to the strip mall to visit the local Blockbuster. I still remember that distinct smell of a thousand plastic cases mixed with the faint scent of buttered popcorn. We'd wander the aisles aimlessly, scanning rows of movies, hoping to find something good. The New Releases wall was always empty, so we ended up with two or three classic movies. A quick scan of your Blockbuster card, some microwave popcorn, and an ice-cold Coke, and our weekend was officially set, as long as you remembered to, "Be kind, rewind." At its peak, Blockbuster had nearly nine thousand stores. Those iconic blue and yellow signs were in every town. Home entertainment ran through them. They did not compete in the market. They were the market. Then a small company showed up with red envelopes and a simple question. What if people didn't have to come to us? What if movies showed up at their door? What if there were no late fees at all? Blockbuster laughed. Netflix was a novelty. A slow option for people willing to wait. Blockbuster had momentum. They were not failing. They were winning. They were comfortable. That comfort cost them. Netflix started by mailing DVDs across the country. Then, while that model was still working, they began investing in a new idea, streaming movies through the internet. No one thought it would work. Few had the bandwidth or patience. When it did work, they leaned in harder. Soon the mailed DVDs, the model that built them, was discontinued. When online content exploded, they shifted again, producing original stories and building a global platform. Netflix was never married to a method, only its mission, "to entertain the world." Blockbuster lost because they tried to protect what they were comfortable with. Netflix won because they challenged their own comfort zones. Comfort rarely looks like failure. However, that's what it becomes when you settle into a season of success. Blockbuster did not fail because it lacked resources. It failed because it clung too tightly to what worked in a previous season. That is why the Lord says, "Remember not the former things." God is not dismissing what He has done. He is warning us not to settle there. Yesterday's success can quietly become today's blind spot if we stop perceiving what God is doing next (Isaiah 43:18–19, ESV). The Hidden Cost of Comfort There is a big cost to falling into complacency, one that should terrify a leader. It costs momentum. Momentum is built by consistently moving in the right direction over time. When you have it, everything feels easier. When you lose it, everything becomes harder. Momentum never gives you permission to coast. You are always fighting some sort of friction. If you stop adding the right amount of energy, momentum dies, and once it's gone, you may never recapture it. It costs multiplication. Multiplication is momentum that begins to compound. It takes a season of winning and turns it into sustained fruitfulness. But comfort interrupts that process. What should be multiplying suddenly starts getting managed, and management stalls growth. It costs maximum impact. The goal of a leader should be to make the greatest impact possible, leaving nothing on the table. We seek to give God the fullest return on our obedience. Comfortable leaders may stay busy, but they will never reach their maximum potential. Comfort does not destroy leaders. It limits them. Comfort becomes their ceiling. Signs You've Grown Comfortable • You reference past wins more than present opportunities. • You defend current systems more than you discern coming seasons. • You explain away holy discomfort instead of leaning into it. • You manage what exists rather than steward what God is birthing. Read those again slowly. One of them likely stung. Getting comfortable is where leadership stalls, not by failure, but in settling. You quietly trade significance for the status quo. How to Move Away From Comfort God asks, "Do you not perceive it?" He says something new is springing up. This means it is not the availability of opportunity, but your attentiveness to it. So where do we begin? 1. Start with what now feels easy. Where does your leadership no longer require faith? What can you do now without thinking that once caused you to push yourself? Ease is often the first warning sign of growing too comfortable. 2. Disrupt your routine. Growth rarely comes from big changes. It often begins with a simple disruption or change of rhythm. Delegate something you like controlling. Have the conversation you have been avoiding. Look for a new way of doing something old. 3. Choose a place to stretch your faith. Ask yourself where growth would require more faith than experience. Your maximum potential just might live on the other side of some discomfort. 4. Invite accountability into your comfortable spaces. Ask a trusted leader this question: "Where do you see me playing it safe or leaving potential untapped?" Invite feedback and discover where growth is possible. 5. Reignite hunger.Does your current vision still require God? If you fulfilled every current goal you have, would anything really change? Remember God's call on your life is immeasurably more. That has to mean more than the status quo, right? "Behold, I am doing a new thing," is an invitation to get uncomfortable again. Comfort will keep you where you are. Moving away from comfort will take you where you are called to be. Questions: 1. Where in your leadership have past wins quietly become present assumptions? In other words, what are you still doing primarily because it once worked, not because you are convinced God is calling you to do it now? 2. What area of your leadership currently feels safest, most predictable, or least dependent on God? How might that comfort be limiting your growth, influence, or maximum potential? 3. What specific discomfort is God inviting you to embrace in this next season? Name one concrete step you could take this week that would require faith, stretch your capacity, and move you away from maintenance and toward mission.

Check out Discipleship.org for resources on disciple-making: https://discipleship.org/resources/  Join us at the 2026 National Disciple Making Forum: https://discipleship.org/2026-national-disciple-making-forum/  Activate the priesthood. Multiplication cannot be done by one pastor or a team of educated ministers. It takes the entire body of Christ to accomplish the task. This track will detail on time training for the equipping of the saints for the work of the Lord.

What if your faith was never meant to stop with you? In Part 5 of our Growth series, we explore the biblical call to multiplication—the natural outcome of a life rooted in Christ. From baptism and spiritual maturity to disciple-making and bearing fruit, Scripture shows us that God's design has always been growth that leads to multiplication. This message traces God's heart from Genesis to the Great Commission, reminding us that every believer is empowered by the Holy Spirit not just to follow Jesus, but to help others follow Him too. You'll hear: • Why spiritual maturity always leads outward • How God uses ordinary people to produce extraordinary fruit • What it means to truly live on mission • Why multiplication is central to God's plan for your life and the Church If you've ever wondered whether God could really use your story, your growth, or your faith to impact others—this message is for you.

BLESSING, MULTIPLICATION AND INCREASE -- PASTOR YEMI DAVIDS by Yemi Davids

What if the reason you haven't expanded yet isn't strategy, money, or timing—but formation?In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I dismantle one of the biggest myths in business and leadership: that multiplication is a mystery or reserved for a few “chosen” leaders. It's not. Multiplication follows order and order starts within. We walk through the four non-negotiable phases every multiplying leader must pass through: (1) identity, (2) alignment, (3) architecture, and (4) multiplication. I explain why growth collapses when internal order is missing, why strategy fails without formation, and how God increases what He can trust.If you've been praying for expansion but experiencing plateaus, this episode will challenge you to stop asking for more—and start becoming more. Because your next level isn't waiting on a new plan. It's waiting on a new version of you! If this episode stirred something in you, it's time to take the next step.

Fortunately, the Bible has prescribed this pathway. This track will help you unearth the biblical pathway for gaining ground on lostness in your community.

Bear Fruit John 15:15-17 15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. The Success in Disciple Making is Multiplication I. Fruit Bearing is Expected (On Screen) a. Disciple are properly trained b. Called out by God c. Commanded to Bear Fruit II. Fruit Must Be Lasting (On Screen) a. Godly fruit comes in two flavors i. new believers ii. new disciple makers b. Godly fruit continues to make fruit III. Fruit Bearing Takes Growth (OnScreen) a. Acknowledging God call to Special Ministry b. Be Mindful of the Attacks of the Devil c. The Goal is multiplication d. Ministry may Look Different(motivated by love) John 15:17 17 These things I command you, so that you will love one another. The Success of Disciple Making is Multiplication

They talk through leadership growth, hiring, delegation, and how to maintain vision while scaling, with direct parallels to church leadership. Key Topics & Timestamps Vision as the Foundation (00:00–05:32) Why clear vision needs to come before leadership development Churchfront's mission: "Equip church leaders in spaces with innovative solutions for thriving ministry." The importance of a mission statement, vision statement, and core values A two-day workshop at Ramsey to clarify and communicate vision Natural progression from YouTube creator to leading a 10-person team Key Quote: "If there is no clear vision of where you're trying to bring that organization, then everything else that we're about to talk about with leadership development and scaling an organization is kind of irrelevant because nobody knows where you're going." The Transition from Hands-On to Hands-Off (03:23–07:54) How Jake went from knowing everything to empowering team decision-making Building systems so problems get solved without senior leader involvement Decision-making frameworks around mission, vision, values, and finances When leaders should stay involved vs. when to delegate Team members now have authority and clarity to address issues independently High-risk or costly decisions still require senior leader involvement Key Quote: "It's so cool that my brain, even though I can keep up with a lot of things, I can no longer keep up with all of the cool things that are happening in the business and probably some of the headaches." Hiring A-Players (07:54–13:04) Essential hiring criteria: Mission alignment — genuinely excited about equipping church leaders Self-leadership — evidence of personal discipline (health, appearance, habits) Character references — take time to call references and vet thoroughly Working Genius Assessment — using Patrick Lencioni's framework to build balanced teams Team vetting — multiple team members interview candidates Churchfront Focus: Churchfront only works with churches (not corporate AV, DJ setups, or other venues). Candidates need to genuinely care about the local church. Working Genius Details: $25 assessment (WIDGET acronym) Identifies whether someone leans toward Wonder/Invention vs. Tenacity/Galvanizing traits Helps place people into roles that fit their strengths Recommended for church staff to understand their "genius zones" Key Quote: "If you can't lead yourself, you can't lead others very well." The Challenge of Letting Go (13:37–16:56) Why control is tempting but unsustainable for growth Long-term vision motivates delegation Media/marketing was Jake's original specialty and the hardest area for him to delegate to Matt Over time, Matt learned Jake's standards and expectations Hiring people who are better than you in specific areas Real Examples: Chris installs, rigs, mounts, and runs cable better than Jake Spencer models and drafts 3D spaces faster in Vectorworks James creates better schematics Senior Leader Principle: Leaders should understand all departments without controlling them. Spend a few hours learning the basics so you can make informed decisions about major investments. Church Application: Senior pastors should take Churchfront courses (a couple half-days) to be more informed than most lead pastors when making major AV decisions. Key Quote: "I'm motivated by the long-term vision of where this is going and how big the organization has to go that I'm just like, 'Yeah, I don't need to control everything. I don't want that life where I feel like I have to because I'm just going to be miserable about that.'" Present Leadership Without Micromanaging (17:46–19:40) Weekly team meetings where everyone shares what they're working on Asking: "What did you do last week?" and "What are you working on this week?" (3–10 minutes) Five minutes with each team member can make a huge impact Being present builds trust across the org chart Service businesses succeed based on team health and performance Jake shifted from solo productivity to supporting team members Key Quote: "That five minutes of interaction with one of your team members a week, no matter where they're at in the org chart, goes a long way because they're like, 'Oh wow, our senior leader knows me. I can trust him.'" High-Leverage Activities (19:50–23:16) Definition of leverage: low input, high output—like a tool that multiplies your strength. What Jake focuses on now: Pre-design client conversations — 2–3 hours per project that sets the trajectory for large-budget projects (using Wonder/Invention/Visionary strengths) Media creation — 30 minutes to a few hours can reach thousands (what built Churchfront over 8–10 years) Leader development — multiplication only happens as the team grows from 10+ toward 20–30 For church leaders: Sunday preaching — communication at scale (in-person and online) Developing other leaders — especially in areas where you're less gifted Key Quote: "What can I put lower input into and gives me high output? That's what a lever or a tool is." Leadership Evolution (23:23–25:23) John Maxwell's Five Levels of Leadership (applied): Position — title alone (doesn't get you much) Permission — relationships; people give you permission to lead Productivity — "Follow me because I produce results" (how Churchfront started) Leader development — "Follow me because I'll equip you to lead others" (current focus) Multiplication — creating leaders who create leaders Jake's journey: 2016: solo entrepreneur and highly productive individual Read leadership books and understood the growth track Started with productivity to get things off the ground With 10 people (and aiming for 20–30), he must focus on leader development to reach multiplication Key Insight: Leadership maturity means realizing it's more people-focused than anything else. Advice to 2016 Jake (25:44–28:06) What Jake would tell his younger self: "Buy more Bitcoin" (half-joking) With what he knows now, he could do in 2–3 years what took 10 But he wouldn't rush it—focus on the journey Be a man of good character Follow God Keep sustainable work-life balance Care for spouse and kids Don't rush—God multiplies right inputs into massive outputs Seek wise counsel on business strategy and online marketing Show up and do the work every day For young 20-somethings Jake mentors: Focus on self-leadership and the basics Better strategies exist—learn from wise voices Put in consistent daily work People don't see the late-night edits and behind-the-scenes grind Key Quote: "A lot of people see Churchfront and they're like, 'Wow, it's like 300,000 subscribers. It's a decent sized little business growing a lot.' It's like, yeah, that's after eight to 10 years of just showing up and doing it every single day." Main Themes Don't Throw the Baby Out with the Bathwater As church culture shifts away from overly corporate/produced approaches back toward authenticity, it's still worth keeping the leadership lessons that help organizations run well—especially because leadership often isn't taught deeply in Bible school contexts. Parallels Between Business and Church Leadership Churchfront is a Christian business that prays before meetings and focuses on serving the local church. The leadership principles Jake uses translate directly to church staff leadership, especially for teams of 5–15. The Secret Sauce In service businesses (and churches), the team and people are the product. That's why leader development and team health matter so much. Natural Progression Growth happens in stages. Jake went from being intimidated by the idea of 10 staff members to progressing through each hire and stage—each step building confidence for the next. Practical Takeaways for Church Leaders Clarify your vision first—mission, vision, and core values you return to weekly Hire A-players only—take time, use assessments, and get team input Build decision-making systems so your team can solve problems without you Stay present without micromanaging—even five minutes per person per week helps Focus on high-leverage activities—preaching, leader development, strategic decisions Understand all departments without needing to control them Invest in education—leaders should understand the basics of major spending areas Progress through leadership levels—from productivity to multiplication Prioritize character and self-leadership—in yourself and the people you hire Think long-term—consistent daily effort over 8–10 years creates remarkable results

Episode Description: The day starts with Max trying to score goals on the soccer field – but ends with the Problem Solvers trying to meet their goal of finding the next server.  This takes them back to Ancient Greece and the legendary Colossus of Rhodes statue.   There the foursome of Max, Molly, Katrina and Charlene use unit conversions, time calculations, and problem-solving to outsmart history without changing it.

"God is a God on mission, and his mission continues through the local church. So let's plant more churches!" ~Pastor David Beeghly

Matthew 28:18-20 | JD Summers There is something that resonates with us all about being a part of something bigger than ourselves. This is true of the mission of the church, which is part and parcel with God's mission in the history of redemption. God mandates that believers join in this mission, giving us a message of salvation to proclaim to the ends of the earth. He gives strength and comfort as we carry out this mission, backing us with his authority and making his presence with us known. Let us joyfully embrace God's mission for the church!

You'll learn how the best CEOs grow themselves just as aggressively as they grow their businesses, multiplying results through people, systems, and strategy instead of grinding harder.Brad lays out the critical mindset shifts every $100M CEO must make: moving from control to trust, from doing to multiplying, and from short-term firefighting to building long-term enterprise value. He unpacks the five core disciplines exponential CEOs master — strategy, business development, people, execution, and mission — and shares hard-earned lessons from his own journey about when to step up, when to let go, and when it's time to hand the CEO seat to someone else.If you're building a fast-growth company — or you're determined to — this episode will challenge your thinking, push your standards, and give you practical steps to become the leader your business actually needs next.If you're ready to build a company that grows because of you, not around you, this conversation gives you the mindset, cadence, and playbook to get there.

It happens slowly. Then all at once. Small compromises. Quiet trade-offs. One day you wake up and realize your life, your leadership, or your organization has drifted from what it was supposed to be about. The mission that once drove everything is now just words on a wall.Peter Greer wrote the book on it — literally. In How Leaders Lose Their Way, he unpacks why drift is the default and what it takes to stay anchored. Peter is President & CEO of HOPE International and has spent years helping leaders finish well — personally and organizationally.In this conversation, we unpack:→ What personal and organizational drift actually looks like (and why it's so hard to spot)→ The difference between "resume virtues" and "eulogy virtues"→ Why Peter writes his eulogy every year — and how it recalibrates everything→ The dangers of success, speed, and isolation→ Why you need friends who love you enough to tell you the truth→ How good organizations lose their mission — and why growth can't be the ultimate goal→ Practical guardrails you can put in place this weekIf you want to finish well, this conversation will show you how to fight the current.—

On the Feast of the Epiphany, we're invited to ask a deeper question: Will you allow yourself to be taken, broken, and given? In today's Peace on Earth reflection, we look at the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fish — a profoundly Eucharistic moment where Jesus: takes, gives thanks, breaks, and gives. This isn't just about bread. It's about you. Jesus wants to take you — to delight in you. He wants to give thanks for you. And yes, He may allow you to be broken… so that you can be given to the world. This is how love multiplies. This is how vocations are lived. This is how lives are transformed. As the Christmas season draws to a close, may we surrender again and trust that God can do more with our “yes” than we could ever imagine. May there be peace on earth — and peace in your heart. Amen.   #PeaceOnEarth #Epiphany

In this eye-opening episode, math researcher and educator Dr. Alex Lawson challenges one of the most common approaches to teaching multiplication: introducing it as “groups of.” Drawing on years of classroom-based research, Alex reveals why this method might actually be limiting student understanding—and how rethinking multiplication through the lens of rate, quantity, and context can transform learning outcomes.You'll walk away with practical insights for both math teachers and coaches, including:Why rate is a more powerful foundation for multiplication than repeated additionHow labeling referents helps students connect numbers to meaningSmall tweaks you can make—even with existing lessons or resourcesWhat to do when students are still counting additively in grades 3 and 4How to build math teacher confidence in implementing new strategiesIf you're ready to deepen students' understanding of multiplication and better support problem-solving in your math program, this episode is packed with ideas and inspiration.

Send us a textToday's episode dives into a question many K–1 teachers ask: Why are we giving multiplication problem types when they're nowhere in the standards? If you've ever wondered whether this is developmentally appropriate, too advanced, or simply “off track,” you're definitely not alone.But here's the truth: young children already experience multiplicative situations in real life — and those experiences naturally support early additive reasoning. In this episode, I share a powerful story from Kayla's first-grade classroom that illustrates exactly why these problem types matter.
