Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 124 ratings
  • Content is lacking

    Listened to a couple episodes. One spent 60% of the 41 minutes talking about nothing as well as Peyton’s book deal. I would not describe this as content rich.

    Maybe other episodes are better. I don’t have the time to find out.

  • My updated review after 9 years

    I have been listening since 2015 started with Hardcore Church planting. I had to update my review. Pete your still the Man. Your Podcast has been a shield in my Armor. Thank you keep it up. I do miss smack talk at the beginning. I like to be tickled before the slap. Change is hard maybe one day I’ll start liking the slap first. May God and his word keep us uncomfortable and moving towards him.

CPP #594 – Mac Lake on Leading Yourself
Q: What need were you seeing in leaders that prompted a book like this?
I realized that leaders were struggling with emotional intelligence and working together as a team.
CPP #569 – Rich Robinson on All Change
Q: How do you know when it's time for your church to make those kinds of major changes?
It's important to look for signs of external disruption (like COVID) or internal conviction that call for change, emphasizing that change can be a messy process.
CPP #569 – Rich Robinson on All Change
Q: What kind of change are you advocating for in the book?

CPP #572 – Frank Bealer on Leveraging Space to Influence Your Community
Q: Why is it important for church planters to think through having a building?
It's crucial because often church planters may outgrow a building by the time they move in, and a multi-use strategy can help build bigger and utilize space better.
