Church Planter Podcast CPP #630 – Discipling the Next Generation
The topic was supposed to be “Discipling the Next Generation”…and we got there, just not how you’d expect.
In this episode, Peyton and Pete unpack an often-overlooked ingredient behind disciple-making movements: mentorship.
Peyton shares what it’s been like to have a legend like Ralph Moore personally investing into his church plant and why having a mentor can change the trajectory of your ministry (and your life). From stories of writing letters to paying for coaching that reshaped his future, Peyton makes the case that too many church planters are pouring out without ever letting someone pour into them.
They also tackle:
- Why Gen X leaders struggle to ask for help
- The difference between wanting mentorship and committing to it
- Why skin in the game matters
- The cost (and value) of being discipled
- Why you should always have someone ahead of you — and someone behind you
If you’re planting, leading, or simply feeling like you’re figuring it out alone…this episode is a reminder: You weren’t meant to. And if we’re serious about discipling the next generation, it starts by modeling what it looks like to be discipled ourselves.
