R.W. interviews Patrick O'Connell with guest, Tom Planck. They discuss church multiplication and networking for church planting and financial health.
As you listen, here are a few key take aways....
1. The church is a movement and that the church is at its best when it's engaged in the reproduction or reproducing or multiplying in that movement.
2. At the end of the day we have to remind ourselves we're stewards and not owners. And we're in the Kingdom advancement business, not in the castle building business.
3. Networks are to movement as small groups are to churches.
