Welcome to the 5 Points Church Planting Podcast where three church planters hope to make at least one good point. In each 30-minute episode (give or take), our goal is to discuss the ins and outs of church planting from a Reformed (as well as Presbyterian - we are PCA ministers after all) perspective. We also want to hear from some insightful voices concerning church multiplication. Our desire for this podcast is to be helpful, encouraging, stimulating and above all else glorifying to God.
Meet the Hosts:
