Ep.5/ [X]Origins
In This episode WE TELL THE ORIGIN STORY of Multiply
LISTEN NOW
Aaron and Jon welcome back Caleb and introduce Eric Sherwood (Director of Operations for [OV]Church, Ocean View Christian Academy and Preschool, and Coaster Coffee), all of whom sit down to trace the trajectory of past episodes for an exciting origin story: their own, as founding collaborators in the [Multiply]Family of Churches movement.
Before there was a family of churches, there was a figurative van down by the river that was actually a Mahindra SUV on a loud, busy street in India. Before there was a collective in Hampton Roads, there was a conference in Louisville, Kentucky. And in all things, new beginnings often mean bittersweet endings. Rev up your search engines as we discuss the contextualized multiplication of a vibrant and bold people to bring community, unity, accountability, and interdependency to our neighborhoods, cities, and beyond. Part testimony, part road trip tales, part practical application of learned methods, but all heart. For more information, how to get involved with the [Multiply] project, and a list of resources, visit us at multiplythechurch.com.
As always, click on the “Equipping” tab and that will give you access to our “Disciple-Making Toolbox.” Check out the toolbox and work through the resources. There you can find tools for explaining the gospel, both to you and to others; study guides for walking through the basics of discipleship; and other more in depth methods of counseling along with the most effective tool we use for disciple making, called “Core Groups”.
Check it out, give us some feedback, tell your SG leaders, Ministry Leaders, Pastors. All of this is designed to help you multiply disciples.
Let the Word dwell richly in you and may God multiply your efforts for the Kingdom.
