A quick reminder.  I mentioned last week that Christina's “Ministries Making A Difference” column is made up of information that we mostly get from our readers and listeners.  They send us news tips, press releases, emails, and links, and Christina chases down the details.  And that's how we get a lot of our other stories as well.   So, if you have a story you'd like us to cover, or a ministry that you think needs a closer look, please email us.  Our email is info@155.138.219.249.  That will come directly to my desk, and we'll take it from there. Also, a reminder that you can help the program by leaving us a rating on your podcast app.  The  more ratings we get, the easier it is for others to find us.  It's a quick, easy, and free way you can support MinistryWatch.

Guest Bios Show Transcript The Association of Related Churches, or ARC, is arguably the biggest church planting organization in North America. It's also one of the most embattled . . . with scandals involving ARC pastors hitting the news with shocking regularity. In this episode of The Roys Report podcast, former ARC pastor Jeff Thompson explains why. In 2012, Jeff says he was enamored with ARC's model of “launching large”—of starting a church with a big capital investment, top-notch worship team, and professional marketing.

On today's program, a Tennessee adoption agency is sued in a case that could impact religious liberty for millions of Americans. And the ARC, or Association of Related Churches, is in the news again, and – once again – not for good reasons. We begin today with news of one of the biggest financial frauds we've ever seen here at MinistryWatch. Staccato Powell, the former president of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church's board of bishops, has been federally charged with fraud and conspiracy connected to allegations of his mishandling the properties of congregations in California and fraudulently gaining millions of dollars for personal use. So, if you have a story you'd like us to cover, or a ministry that you think needs a closer look, please email us. Our email is info@155.138.219.249. That will come directly to my desk, and we'll take it from there. Also, a reminder that Monday is the LAST DAY you can make a gift to MinistryWatch and receive as our thank-you gift a copy of Wade Mullen's really excellent book called “Something's Not Right: Decoding the Hidden Tactics of Abuse and Freeing Yourself From Its Power.” We did a webinar with Wade this week, and he did a great job fielding my questions and questions from the 150 people who signed up for it. All that to say: I really recommend this book. To get a copy just go to MinistryWatch.com and hit the donate button at the top of the page.

It's 2000 conversations, demonstrations and impartations." 9:56 - "And if you think about those 2000 conversations, impartations, demonstrations, what's weird about them is you can log a lot of those when they're young, but intellectually, the conversations, they all kind of happen in a very, very, very tiny window." 10:40 - The "window of discipleship" is between 12 and 16. 12:58 - You can't log all of the conversations, but what you can do is give them principles like Psalm 92: "Planted in the house of the Lord, you will flourish." 18:56 - "You can't export what you haven't first imported." 20:15 - Begin with the end in mind. 21:14 - Choosing priorities and avoiding regrets by paying attention to the juggling metaphor 23:57 - How being a part of church helps provide multiple mentors 26:48 - Sacred family rituals 28:20 - "Logging as many hours as we possibly can in that golden window is the definition of good parenting. And if they have to not be exposed to as many opportunities on purpose, and my kids don't regret it, it's not like my kids sit and think, well, I didn't get as many piano and dance lessons and as many sports opportunities. They never sit around and talk about that. They talk about how many hours we logged doing a common hobby together..."   Conversation Links:   Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team Substance Church Peter Haas Instagram

As COVID-19 restrictions begin to lift, this previously recorded episode is incredibly relevant to the sensitive time we are living in.

You'll hear unflinching stories about what makes pastoring so joyful and so hard. Between Greg's years planting Seacoast Church in Charleston, South Carolina, Darrin's years planting The Journey in St. Louis, Missouri, and their years working with other planters through ARC (Association of Related Churches) and Acts 29, they bring a tremendous amount of personal wisdom and experience to these conversations. Success and failure are a key part of every ministry, and so is the grace that accompanies them. On The Pastors Collective, you'll hear about all of it.

Guest Minister, Scott Hornsby, Senior Overseer of Fellowship Church in Zachary, LA and a founding board member of The Association of Related Churches.

“Serving people is not just something we want to do; it’s something we need to do. People discover personal healing through helping others.” - Dino Rizzo Dino Rizzo serves on the Executive Team and is the Outreach and Missions Pastor at Church of the Highlands in Birmingham, AL. In these roles, Dino teaches in some weekend worship services throughout the year with a special emphasis on leading the church to recognize and meet needs in the community. Dino also serves as the Executive Director of ARC - the Association of Related Churches, located at the Billy Hornsby Center for Church Planting in Birmingham, AL. From Church of the Highlands: "In 2000, Dino co-founded the Association of Related Churches (ARC), a growing group of churches devoted to launching, connecting, and equipping churches and pastors—with the ultimate vision of seeing a life-giving church in every community in the world. Dino serves as the Executive Director for ARC, which has now launched hundreds of life-giving local churches, and is poised to train, equip, and resource many more couples to launch churches in the coming years. In his role at ARC, Dino leads the National Serve Day initiative, encouraging ARC churches to serve their communities on a specific, designated day—hoping and praying that serving will become part of every church’s DNA. He is also highly visible as host and emcee at ARC’s conferences that bring thousands of pastors and leaders together annually. Additionally, he serves as a keynote speaker and is involved in planning the conference App workshops. For years, Dino has talked and walked out God’s call to His people to serve others. In 2009, he released the best-selling book Servolution: Starting a Church Revolution Through Serving, which has sold thousands of copies. The book’s success launched a movement of more than 700 churches throughout the world that participate in Servolution in their own communities, including Lakewood Church (Houston, Texas), Life.Church, Camina De Vida (Lima, Peru), Life Church (Manurew, New Zealand) and Assembly of God (Gdansk, Poland). With Servolution, Dino sounds a mass call to churches that serving is not about an event, but rather, infusing a “serving” culture into their DNA."

We're often asked, are their better times than others to start measuring the health of your staff culture? We believe one of the best times is when there is a transition to a new top leader. Today we will find out if that's true, even if your father was the previous leader! Seacoast Church in Charleston, South Carolina, is known as one of the most innovative churches around and is often credited with being the first multisite church in the country.

After you've discerned a call to plant, one of the first things you'll have to figure out is whether you will affiliate with a particular denomination or church planting network. In this episode, Dan and Amber share their experience being a part of both a denomination (Southern Baptist) and a network (Association of Related Churches). It's an honest look at what you gain and what you give up when you choose a tribe. And later in the episode, we discuss why you should go through a formal church planting assessment as soon as possible! -- New Church Hustle is a podcast designed to highlight the big faith and hard work behind every thriving church.

In the interview, you'll hear Peter answer all of our lightning round questions and you'll hear him share a ton of incredibly useful advice for mentors and leaders looking to be mentored. If that's a subject that interests you, you have to listen to this! Thanks for listening to our interview with Peter. You can find ways to connect with him and links to everything we discussed in the show notes at l3leadership.org/episode203 You can listen to part one interview in episode #202 where we talk about Peter's books, his journey to faith, his advice to church planters and pastors, and so much more! Here is the link: http://www.l3leadership.org/episode202 About Peter Haas: While working in a nightclub as a rave-dj, Peter challenged the God of the Universe to “reveal himself”. Only seconds later, God responded with a jaw-dropping Gospel encounter that shook the foundation of his life. Within a few short years, Peter was sucked into full-time ministry and began pastoring in Wisconsin. After a decade, Peter relocated to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2004 to plant Substance Church. Quickly, Substance became one of the fastest growing and most youthful multi-site mega churches in the US. Over 70% of the thousands who participate in their community are under 30 years old and over 41% of their congregation did not attend church or have a relationship with God even two years ago. Moreover, Peter is on the lead team of the Association of Related Churches and has written two books: Pharisectomy and Broken Escalators. Beyond family & church, his next greatest passions are music, film & comedy. Peter currently resides in Minneapolis with his wife Carolyn and their three kids.

In the interview, you'll hear Rave DJ turned Pastor, Peter Haas, talk about his journey to faith, his books, growing leaders, ministry, and so much more! You're going to love this! To connect with Peter, download a transcript or the interview, and more, go to the show notes at http://www.l3leadership.org/episode202 You can listen to our lightning round interview in episode #203 here: http://www.l3leadership.org/episode203 About Peter Haas: While working in a nightclub as a rave-dj, Peter challenged the God of the Universe to “reveal himself”. Only seconds later, God responded with a jaw-dropping Gospel encounter that shook the foundation of his life. Within a few short years, Peter was sucked into full-time ministry and began pastoring in Wisconsin. After a decade, Peter relocated to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2004 to plant Substance Church. Quickly, Substance became one of the fastest growing and most youthful multi-site mega churches in the US. Over 70% of the thousands who participate in their community are under 30 years old and over 41% of their congregation did not attend church or have a relationship with God even two years ago. Moreover, Peter is on the lead team of the Association of Related Churches and has written two books: Pharisectomy and Broken Escalators. Beyond family & church, his next greatest passions are music, film & comedy. Peter currently resides in Minneapolis with his wife Carolyn and their three kids.
