Episode 114 - The Folly of Church Planting
Episode description
Ever thought about planting a church? Well, before you grab your Bible and shovel (metaphorically, of course), you might want to take a listen to this episode of the Christian AF Podcast. Jesse, Jen, and Evan unpack the "folly" of church planting, revealing why it's not always the holy grail it's cracked up to be.
We dive into the messy realities: the burnout, the big promises of fast growth, and the cold, hard stats showing that more churches are closing than opening. As always, there’s a healthy dose of sarcasm and plenty of tangents about beer, bands, and bad theology along the way. The truth? Maybe the key isn’t planting more churches but focusing on discipleship and community in ways that actually last.
So, before you quit your day job to start a mega-church, grab a drink and buckle up—this one’s going to challenge what you thought you knew about church planting.
