Podcasts about planting churches

In this inspiring episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters speaks with Craig Alsup, full‑time missionary and global advocate with Manna Worldwide, a Fort Worth–based nonprofit serving children and families in nearly 50 countries. Craig shares how an around‑the‑world trip in 2008 exposed him and his wife to overwhelming physical and spiritual poverty, trafficking, hunger, and brokenness—an experience that reshaped their lives and ultimately led them to leave careers in therapy and public health to serve full time with Manna beginning in 2015. Craig explains the origins of Manna Worldwide, which began in the Philippines feeding children and strengthening local churches through holistic, community‑driven programs. Today, Manna operates roughly 300 projects, including nutrition centers, schools, orphanages, medical clinics, anti‑trafficking initiatives, and church‑planting partnerships, serving around 20,000 children and families every day. He shares a powerful story from Nepal about a young girl whose life was transformed through sponsorship, education, nutrition, and the hope of the gospel—illustrating how long‑term relationships and local leadership create lasting change. Craig also discusses the importance of gratitude, the global realities of poverty, and the call of Acts 1:8 to serve both locally and globally. Listeners will learn: How Manna Worldwide feeds kids and plants churches Why missions matter in today's world The impact of holistic care on families and communities How to join mission trips, sponsor children, or partner financially Craig's personal journey of calling, faith, and obedience Craig closes with a heartfelt challenge to step into generosity, service, and global compassion. He provides ways to connect, give, and get involved in Manna's mission to bring hope to the nations.

Imagine if every community had a local church on their doorstep gathering passionate believers, built on strong Biblical teaching and leading people to life-changing encounters with God? All it takes is ordinary people following Jesus one step of faith at a time.

Send us a textThis conversation delves into the concept of indigenous incarnation in the context of sustainability and cultural ownership. It emphasizes the importance of radical contextualization, where the core message of the gospel is adapted to fit local cultures while maintaining scriptural fidelity. The discussion highlights the need for local leaders to take ownership of the message, ensuring that movements are sustainable and not reliant on outside influences. The conversation also addresses the challenges posed by tradition and the importance of breaking cultural strongholds to embrace a new identity rooted in faith.TakeawaysIndigenous incarnation implies a total transformation, not just a translation.The ultimate goal is planting churches that smell like the community they're in.Radical contextualization is key, tethered to scriptural fidelity.Cultural barriers should be stripped away to reveal the pure gospel.The line is drawn at the Word of God; everything else is negotiable.Historical mission efforts often created barriers instead of overcoming them.Local leaders are essential for sustainable movements.Tradition can act as a psychological stronghold against new forms of obedience.The focus should be on maximizing ownership and clarity in communication.New believers are the most effective evangelists to their own people.* This podcast has been generated by AI Support the show

Pastor: Brandon LeveringMain Point: Fulfilling the Great Commission is more than making individual disciples or growing existing churches; it also means establishing new churches wherever disciples are being madeKey Scripture: Acts 14:19-23

Gospel Life Church exists to make disciples who make disciples and to plant churches that plant churches.Many of us have heard that phrase before—but what does it actually mean? What is a disciple? How are disciples made? What's my role in all of this? And let's be honest—church planting sounds intimidating.What if I'm not a church planter? As we grow in the gospel, we want to be very clear: the Bible doesn't teach us that we grow for our own benefit. We grow so that we can go—and often, we'll discover that we grow as we go.The Great Commission is the catalyst Jesus gave His disciples for gospel-driven growth.He gave them a mission, a method, and a message—and then reminded them that He is the one who makes it all possible. Yes, some doubted, and all struggled in various ways, but Jesus still commissionedthem to “go and make disciples” and changed them with His Spirit as they went.By God's grace, Gospel Life, we are growing—in depth, in relationship, and in mission. We're planting a church, digging deeper into God's Word, and praying that we might be a faithful gospel witness in the Puyallup Valley for many years to come. We invite you to hear and be compelled by the Great Commission of Jesus Christ in this sermon series and to join us in faith as we endeavor to make disciples and plant churches in this community for many years to come.Jesus declared that all authority in heaven and on earth is His and He promised to be with us to the very end of the age. Therefore...will you join us as we go?

Somewhat like Abram, Dustin and his wife felt called to another place without knowing quite where.Feeling moved by God, they left their newly renovated home and teaching jobs in Florida to “move to California to start a church.”There was no direction toward a specific town, so they moved to Oceanside because that was the first school system to offer his wife a job.Having landed, their prayers for further direction led them to Ryan Delameter and OCNWTR churches.Ryan offered the right kind of direction because that movement is built around very young people, mostly planting churches in coffee shops after closing time on weeknights.Upon meeting Ryan, they decided the beach might be a better place, so they and two friends lit a bonfire one Friday night, offering s'mores to anyone who might stop to listen to the guitar and worship songs.As you might imagine, they touch a broad mix of people.Disenchanted former church members mix with people bound by drugs alongside homeless people looking for free food. They've even had a couple of crazies try to physically attack Dustin.But following the Spirit has its rewards. There are now four churches spread along that stretch of beach. One meets in Malibu, though they've moved indoors. There are more, but we'll let Dustin tell you about them in the interview.The churches are called Jesus parties.One important lesson is that you can start churches with almost no funds if you think bivocationally and are willing to meet in unorthodox places. The more significant lesson is that the Spirit is moving, and excitement lies in our path if we're eager to follow.Old men have a fondness for their younger days—for me, what I encounter when I'm with Dustin and his friends takes me back to the Jesus Revolution. There is a hint of something delicious in the air that I tasted very long ago…You can follow these guys on Instagram at “jesuspartyca” or email Dustin at jesusparty@gmail.com. Hosted on Acast.

Haitian Helping Hands is a nonprofit organization that is committed to providing access to education, planting churches, and empowering entrepreneurs in Haiti. We believe that by investing in the education and empowerment of the Haitian people, we can help break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future for all. Through our programs, we work to provide access to education for children and adults, building schools and providing scholarships to those in need. We also plant churches in communities across Haiti, helping to provide spiritual support and guidance to the people. Furthermore, we empower entrepreneurs by providing training and resources to help them start and grow their own businesses.

Dear Sponsor, I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits in Jesus' name. I am reaching out to you today with an opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of some children in need in Haiti. We have launched an initiative called "Education for All," aimed at providing quality education to underprivileged children who are currently unable to attend school due to financial constraints. We firmly believe that education is a powerful tool that can break the cycle of poverty and empower individuals to create a better future for themselves and their communities. Unfortunately, countless bright young minds around us are deprived of this basic right due to their families' limited resources. To address this pressing issue, we are seeking compassionate individuals like yourself to partner with us by contributing $60 per month. Your generous support will go directly towards covering the educational expenses of these children, including tuition fees, school supplies, and other essential resources. By investing in their education, you will not only provide these children with the necessary tools to succeed academically but also instill in them the confidence and motivation to pursue their dreams. Your monthly contribution will make a tangible difference, allowing us to expand our reach and positively impact more lives. As a valued member of our initiative, you will receive regular updates on the progress of the children you support. We believe in transparency and accountability, ensuring that your contribution is being utilized effectively to transform lives and foster a brighter future for these deserving youngsters. Joining our cause is incredibly easy. Simply click on the link provided below to visit our secure donation portal. Once there, you can set up a recurring monthly payment of $60 and become a vital part of our mission: haitianhelpinghands.org (http://haitianhelpinghands.org/) If you are unable to commit to a monthly contribution at this time, any one-time donation you can make would still be immensely valuable in our endeavor to provide education to as many children as possible. Alternatively, if you know someone who may be interested in making a difference, please feel free to forward this message to them. Together, we can create a ripple effect of positive change and uplift the lives of countless children. Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of these children. Your support can shape their futures and enable them to realize their true potential.

In this episode, Kurt Busenitz talks about his struggle with the tension of legacy he felt when he left farming to plant churches. With a lack of vibrant, gospel-preaching churches in many rural communities in America, Kurt and Deana, with RHMA, have identified towns in need of a church plant and seek to establish a church there. Tune in to hear Kurt's inspiring story and learn more about the importance of planting churches in underserved and mostly rural communities. RHMA seeks to impact 40 unreached rural communities in the next 10 years by planning gospel proclaiming, Bible teaching, community engaging, and dynamically reproducing churches. This initiative is called “The Back 40 Unreached Initiative." In farming, the back 40 is the remote part of a farm or inaccessible part of any place, an uncultivated or undeveloped piece of land of indefinite size. Learn how you can pray for RHMA's "Back 40 Unreached Initiative."

For this week's sermon covering our mission statement, the founder of the Salt Company Troy Nesbitt, preaches about the importance of church planting. Starting new local churches is written into the DNA of Jesus' mission to the apostles. It is also one of the most significant ways in which the Gospel is spread to new places and sustains the health of the Body of Christ.
