Manage episode 411578460 series 3307923
In this episode of the More Disciples podcast, our hosts interview Carter Cox, a disciple-making pioneer who has been involved in church planting not only around the US but also around the world. Carter talks about his bold journey from running away from faith to actively chasing after Jesus. He also talks about how microchurches or Simple Church set a model for multiplying disciples. Carter shares his experience working with other disciple-making leaders and his thoughts on overcoming ‘stuckages’ or roadblocks that hinder movement. He also touches on the importance of maintaining a balance between life, work, and ministry.
