VIDEO: Part One of the Sojourn / CP4US Panel Discussion

1 02 2010

Last week, I led a panel discussion sponsored by Sojourn Community Church’s Church Planting Center and my ministry  “Church Planting for the Rest of Us.”

In part one of this two-part video, our four panelists (A29 Pastors Rick Long, Me, Nick Nye and Kevin Jamison) offer their “Top Five Pieces of Wisdom” for Church Planters and then take questions from the audience.

I believe that there was some GREAT wisdom shared this time and I would encourage it for any planter or potential planter.

Please help us get this great content out through your blogs, tweets and Facebook as well.
