  • I Listened

    Ok Carey, I listened to the whole Carl Lentz ep. It was abhorrent. No talk of refuge and restoration in Christ. Just a self defense barrage and complaint fest about people bailing. Not one ounce of humility or repentance.

    A Divorced woman lecturing on church leadership while talking about women working around God’s design for the local church. This is contributing to the breakdown of healthy church culture. We should be calling women back to God, repentance, and accountability-not to platform.

    It’s hard to articulate how grateful I am for this podcast.

That’s sad, after six years of it consistently being my go to listen, I can easily see how it has had the most positive influence of any content I consume. Whether it’s the series on revival igniting my excitement and passion for all that God is doing in the next generation an... more

CNLP 805 | The Reason Your Church Isn't Multiplying and Fresh Trends in Church Planting With Dave Ferguson
Q: What are the four gauges you use to gauge leaders, and how do they work in practice?
The four gauges are relational, physical, mental, and spiritual. Leaders monitor these daily, often journaling and scoring themselves on each, and use RPM-style check-ins to ensure they stay in rhythm with growth and avoid drift.
CNLP 804 | How to De-escalate an Angry Church and Leading a Ministry You Didn't Start with Rich Villodas
Q: What role does emotional health play in leading a multi-ethnic church during political moments?
Rich discusses naming anxiety as a core driver of reactivity, using language to diffuse fear, and relying on differentiation and family systems to keep the community connected without disconnection. He emphasizes prayer, careful response drafting, and focusing on unity around shared formation in Christ.
CNLP 804 | How to De-escalate an Angry Church and Leading a Ministry You Didn't Start with Rich Villodas
Q: What has changed for you since taking over the leadership?
Rich explains that the key shifts were recognizing his own identity, building a culture of experimentation, and learning to cast vision over time rather than relying on one powerful sermon to carry the church. He highlights the need for balancing depth with growth and for creating systems that can sustain leadership through a long transition.
CNLP 802 | How the Modern Church Was Shaped: Church Growth, Seeker Sensitive, Attractional, Missional with Todd Wilson
Q: How did the church growth movement evolve from its early roots to a broader leadership enterprise?

Q: How does Christine connect personal pruning with long-term flourishing?
