Exponential 2012: Sifted

Church planting is not for the faint of heart. Over 4,000 new churches start each year, which means upwards of 20,000 planters are in the trenches in years 1-5, many of whom are discouraged and have considered quitting.

Sifted - the theme of Exponential 2012 - emphasizes the planter's spiritual, physical and emotional health as the very foundation for reproducing. In Luke 22:31-32, Jesus' reference to Peter being "sifted" is based on the process of sifting wheat from its chaff during harvest, a form of refining and distilling the good from the bad and removing impurities. As Believers, we have been perfectly sifted by Christ's blood and are being continually sifted to extract our chaff (sin). Life's troubles and difficulties serve in some measure like the winnowing fork. What if we could be better prepared to deal with life's troubles? Join sage and seasoned leaders at Exponential 2012 as they impart their years of wisdom to help you in your journey and lay out a plan for finishing strong.

Exponential One Days

The Exponential One Days highlight the vital importance of the spiritual, physical and emotional health of the church planter as a vital component in catalyzing leaders who reproduce. Where many resources focus on the "doing" of models, approaches and innovations, the Encouraged One Days focus on the "being" and health of church planting leaders. You and your spouse are invited to be part of a local church-based, one-day Encouraged Event this Fall 2011 in a major city near you. More here.
