What a blast to use my podcast to introduce Rick Warren to a church planter who hasn&apos;t even launched his first public service yet! Willie Johnson is with <a href='https://www.redefinestl.com'>REDEFINE CHURCH in St. Louis MO</a>. Rick&apos;s project these days is <a href='https://finishingthetask.com/about-finishing-the-task/'>FinishingTheTask.com</a>. I asked Rick to coach Willie, from his perspective as a church planter who has handed off his church to the next guy - with Willie and his team yet to launch their very first service. Willie would never ask this, so let me ask this for him - would you like to bless this new church plant?! <a href='https://www.redefinestl.com/give'>Why not give them a one-time, or recurring gift as they get started?</a> I love promoting what others are doing! Full disclosure - my church is forming a partnership and has sent thousands of dollars to Redefine Church, and I welcome you, if God so leads, to bless them also. They are a church plant with the Christian &amp; Missionary Alliance! Enjoy this church planting coaching session!

Jeff Keady and Jonny Craig: Pastors, Leaders, Bloggers, Podcasters, and Encouragers

Jeff and Jonny are pastors who want to encourage pastors of “smaller” churches. All most pastors see online are the churches that have grown into the thousands in just a few years, the ones that spread out around the city through multiple services and multiple campuses. The ministry leaders with the most influence are the mega church pastors with mega ministries, staffs, and dollars. Praise God for what He is doing in these large and influential churches! We benefit from their vision and influence.Jeff and Jonny know that there are hundreds of thousands, that have 200 or less in attendance. The work of these pastors and ministries can get lost in the shuffle, and they want to encourage, equip, support, inspire, and cheer on the pastors of 200churches – those churches with around 200 people, give or take a hundred or two! When they talk with guests like N.T. Wright, Scot McKnight, Dan Reiland, Carey Nieuwhof and so many more, they always turn the conversation to small church pastoral ministry.With humor, passion, conviction, and care Jeff and Jonny share methods and inspiration for the small church pastor. If you are a lay, bi-vocational, or solo pastor, the 200churches Podcast is for YOU!
