Bear Good Fruit Podcast - Ep 10 - Strategy in Planting a Church?

Why wait to "do" church? What does it take to plant a church? How do we feel about the reality of strategizing as we plant a church?

As we continue to document our journey in planting a church, we give a little glimpse in what pastors are trained for and the world that is church planting. We're by no means trailblazers at all as there's a 2,000 year rich history of church communities being planted so we'd be fools not to listen to those who've gone before us.

What wisdom has been shared with us and how will it impact the timeline of Tree of Life Church?
