Summary
Joe and Jimmy sit down after preaching to talk about the "church planting green light". Specifically, they cover four essentials a church planter must have a grasp on before they are ready to sent out to plant. What is "calling", and what does it have to do with aptness for church planting? How does "context" play a role in one's readiness to plant? What does it mean to have "clarity" concerning the specific church someone desires to start? Why is "collaboration" so important in church planting? Plus, Jimmy calls us to have a "singular focus of two things."
