Church Planter Podcast CPP #629 – Larry Walkemeyer on Disciple Making as the Engine for Multiplication
In this powerful conversation, Peyton sits down with his longtime mentor and friend, Larry Walkemeyer, to unpack why disciple-making must come before church multiplication, and why so many movements stall when they skip that step.
Drawing from themes in Discipology and Larry’s forthcoming book The Making of a Multiplier, this episode explores the deep connection between time, teaching, and tactics — the three rhythms of Jesus’ disciple-making strategy that ultimately led to explosive Kingdom impact.
Larry shares:
- Why the priesthood of all believers is the theological foundation of mobilization
- How relational disciple-making fuels true multiplication
- A powerful personal vision that reshaped his ministry philosophy
- Why you can’t teach multiplication into existence
- The difference between a “lake mentality” and a “river mentality” church
You’ll also hear stories of everyday believers who became disciple-makers simply because someone walked closely with them long enough for the fire to catch.
If you’re passionate about church planting, leadership development, or seeing movements multiply, this episode will challenge you to slow down, go deep, and mobilize before you multiply.
