This podcast is great for church leaders, whether planting a church, or seeking to grow and multiply disciples. It is thoughtful and approaches topics from a variety of angles that equip leaders to minister effectively in today’s continually changing environment.

Great podcast! But I agree with Ed- you need a new into script!

Thankful for the info and discussions.

Grateful for the insight from this podcast. I only wish it was around several years ago when we first kicked off our church plant. Nevertheless, seems like these questions and topics are ongoing for us "older" church plants as well. Thanks guys and keep the insight coming!

This was, I think, the first podcast I've ever subscribed to. I look forward to each episode. I learn more and more about helping my church become more focused on multiplication! Daniel, Todd and Ed do a fantastic job of answering questions with humor, truth, scripture, and their experience. If you are interested in multiplying the message of the Gospel in your area and around the world, listen to this podcast!

Every episode is quick but full of applicable material. Just started listening and beginning from podcast #1. For church leaders, it’s worth your time. If you’re busy, do like me by listening at double speed! Honestly, I had to listen to Daniel & Ed at double speed.

Started listening regularly this month and I love it. I’m a church planter in Brooklyn NY. I listen now in my car on the way to work and on my drive home (bi-vocational). It’s something I look forward to. Thanks!

As a college kid taking my 15 minute walks to class, this is exactly what i need to take little things here and there to keep in the back pocket for when I'm ready to go!

I love this podcast and the hearts of these three guys! Each time I listen, I gain more understanding in leading the people God has given me. This podcast is different from others, in that, they go to great lengths to make sure each size and type of church pastor has something he/she can take away in order become a better equipped leader in the local church setting. Thanks guys!

Engaging, funny, insightful, and super awesome all around! Absolutely love it!

If you are a pastor or a leader with in the first five years of beginning ministry this is an amazing podcast for you to engage. The topics conversations and challenges that the team address our vital things for every leader of a church to consider and the strategies that are discussed on this podcast are super helpful for implementing within a new church, church campus or church planting environment. Thank you Todd, Daniel and Ed for your investment and God bless.

An endless source of well-informed data combined with intelligent fun. Multiplying churches is serious work that is also seriously fun because of the passion. Thank you guys for informing me and entertaining me, all for the Kingdom.

I love the work of new churches.com and Lifeway Leadership! This show provides practical insights and is always biblically solid. I love the Q&A format so if you have a question check out Newchurches.com and tell your friends, tell your dad, tell your mom!

I’m a young church planter and this podcast is pure gold for me! I wish I had found it earlier. I was introduced to Daniel through his book “No Silver Bullets” (which I would highly recommend) and it’s awesome to hear more insights like that on a regular basis. It also helps that you’ll find yourself cracking up at the conversations between all 3 guys. They make a great combination. Be sure to subscribe, you’ll be glad you did.

This podcast is an incredible resource for church planters. Not only can you ask questions and actually get them answered, but you will learn a ton form other people's questions. But wait, there's more...it is also fun to listen to.

I have no idea how I only recently discovered this podcast, but I’m glad I know about it now! Definitely a fantastic resource on church planting! The episodes answer so many of the questions I want to ask and even the questions I wouldn’t know to ask, but should ask. Thanks guys!

The content is filled with so much wisdom for current people in ministry or people even preparing to take that first step! Please listen you’ll learn something new every-time.

I explored a number of church planting podcasts, and this one stands apart from the crowd. The hosts are knowledgeable, thoughtful, and relatable. They love to joke around, yet they also love to share insights. The show synthesizes the knowledge of three different backgrounds. I love the podcast length. These guys are opening my eyes to the church planting world!

This podcast has served as an incredible tool to engage in a dialog on church planting. As someone who feels lead by God to plant yet lost as to where to start this podcast has been a God send. I would highly recommend this to anyone planting a new church or re-planting an existing church. I can’t recommend this enough. In regards to episode 266: Todd has a strong case to better utilize the churches money to invest in ministries and set an example to the congregation what servanthood looks like to the congregation. A perfect example of how each episode engages the listener into a deeper conversation on ideas for Church planting and leadership.

This really is the best podcast for churches period regardless of whether or not your church is new. This is true for 3 reasons: 1. Short 15 minutes of actionable content. 2. Q and A format makes it more bite size and targeted. 3. Ed interrupts Daniels intro. Whether you wear a tie or tie dye “no fear” shirt you will grow as a pastor, planter and church leader by listening to this podcast.

This podcast (and its accompanying website) describes itself as an online hub for church multiplication and that’s exactly what it is. Daniel, Ed, and Todd answer church multiplication questions with knowledgeable, engaging, and often funny conversation. I personally love the fact that each episode is only 10–15 minutes long. Even if a question is not on my radar I can still take a few minutes of drive time to learn something helpful. Keep up the great work guys!

I stumbled upon the 5LQ podcast and then New Churches from there. For someone who is transitioning into ministry in their early 30’s from the secular workforce, I learn so much from Daniel, Ed, Todd, and Eric. They make me laugh every episode, but also come with a lot of wisdom and depth in their answers. It has been a blessing to have all both the 5LQ and New Churches Podcasts as part of my personal growth tool belt. And on a side note, in the battle of episode 266, I have to go with Todd as the winner. His argument of sacrifice and stewardship was too strong!

This podcast is full of useful material and short enough to listen to on the go. But don't let the shortness of the podcast fool you, the resources mentioned in the podcast and included in the show notes provide an endless amout of information for new church plants, multi-sites, and established churches alike. Also, Todd Adkins won the debate in 266. He provided quite an argument for defending a side he didn't necessarily want!

As a seminary student who feels called to Urban Church Planting, I can honestly say that the New Churches Podcast has been more beneficial for me than just about any other resource (Besides “Five Silver Bullets” of course 😉). One of my favorite episodes so far has been Episode 266. This was a very interactive episode that really helped me think through the logistics of Bi-Vocational Ministry. Although he put up a good fight, in the ninth round, Todd Adkins lost to Daniel Im by TKO. *cue Eye of the Tiger*

I do not go a week without listening to this podcast. Daniel, Todd, and Ed are a wealth of knowledge. They have fun doing what they do ( listen to episode 266 and here Todd beat Daniel in the showdown of Full-time vs Bivocational as he points out that by being a bivo pastor you can demonstrate servant leadership 😁). Seriously, if you are a church planter or a church leader, this podcast is a smorgasbord of info for you to grow and learn from.

I know that this podcast is focused towards church planting; however, I have found some of the material to be incredibly helpful for established churches (or, in our case, a church plant that is now 9 years old). Plus, this is one of the more fun podcasts to listen to that also offers actionable and practical advice. Oh, by the way, Daniel won the debate in episode 266.

Daniel, Ed, and Todd provide great insights in to furthering the mission and vision of your church. Regardless of whether you are considering to plant, recently planted, an established church or multi site church, this podcast will help you grow your ministry.

Good to listen to during a morning workout.

I’ve been studying and researching church planting for years spending thousands of hours reading, meeting, talking, listening , thinking, and praying about church planting. This is by far one of the greatest tools in the world to help Church Planters without exaggeration.

Daniel, Ed, and Todd know what they're talking about and the 15 minute format is a perfect length of time for learning the basics of church planting. This is definitely THE podcast out there when it comes to church planting & multi-site which is why I've listened to nearly all of the 200+ episodes so far. Highly recommended!

I love this podcast and listen to each new episode when I'm driving to work. As a new church planter in Boston, it has been incredibly helpful to have these efficient podcasts that hit such relevant topics that I face each week. Thank you for your willingness to equip and coach me, even though I live on the other side of the country. Keep it up, guys!

I really appreciate the eclectic range of topics covered on this podcast. I have gleaned a lot of great insight listening in on each episode. The conversational format is also fun. It seems clear that you guys enjoy what you do. Also Daniel, great job keeping Todd and Ed on track- at least most of the time! ;-) Looking forward to listening for a long time

Not only am I writing a great review for free SWAG, but also because this is a great podcast. In a short amount of time Daniel, Tod, and that other guy . . . um Ed, give quality content to church planters who are in stages from pre-launch to post-multiplication. Keep up the good work.

We are currently six months in to our new church plant in Ohio and so many of the things that we have done right have a come as a result of listening and applying this podcast. Thanks guys :-)

Really enjoy this podcast. Great resources and converstations not only for the church planters or multi-site leaders but also for pastors of churches of all sizes and locations.

I've really enjoyed listening to these guys share their heart for church planting. They keep of fun, but don't miss the important content that helps expand my understanding of church planting. I love that they take questions from the listeners so you know what's going on in the field. I definitely look forward to hearing them each morning.

I listen to every podcast, and really learn a lot from their wisdom and experience ... and i recommend this to all my pastor and planting friends ... BUT ... when i'm not driving, i try to move it to minute 2 or 3 immediately ... i so wish the preamble could be cut short to 30sec or less. Sometimes, 5 minutes in, it's still silly comments about accents and canadians and being "savage" ... if it wasnt for that, i would easily give it 5 star! all that being said - i still listen every week - just wish they could get to the point quicker!

Daniel, Ed, and Todd are great to listen to. The topics are varied and definitely engaging. I'd highly recommend this podcast!!

As a pastor with a church planter heart, I love this podcast! Not only is the banter enjoyable but the information is also something that is usable. The information that is shared is not always something that has to be cookie-cutter but the principles can be utilized in many different manners and settings. Thank you for all you do and all you share! You make being "Jesus in skin" fun!

I've learned so much from these men. Thank you for pouring in to so many future and present church leaders.

As a current church planter, several months into the launch phase of a brand new church, this podcast has been great in helping both inform us on things but also just bring up important topics for us to latrer discuss. Valuable information and helpful topics for new churches and existing churches I believe.

New Churches Q & A Podcast is not only a great podcast for church planters and multisite leaders, but something to put in every Christian leader's rotation. The podcast is entertaining, informative, biblical, and real. Daniel, Todd, and Ed bring great insight that will stretch your methodologies and inform your planning processes. If you're a planter, multisite leader, or leading in ministry, add this to your podcast list!

I love the work they do, but half of it is inside jokes, or joking about random stuff, or just friends chatting and messing around. Nothing wrong with that but out of 10-15 mins, 4/5 is off topic and I find myself needing to skip ahead constantly. Pick out the specific topics and listen, and keep your finger on the skip ahead icon, and you'll benefit.

I am a church planter in St. Paul, MN. I have been incredibly encouraged by the content. It is a blessing to have a regular podcast that addresses so many different facets of Church Planting. Thank You!

Part of my normal podcast rotation, I've found the New Churches Q&A Podcast to be very practical and insightful. If you are in the process or planning stages of planting a church, this is a great podcast. Jesse Osaka, Japan

I can't express how grateful I am for this podcast. It's a weekly highlight full of wisdom and practical tips. Thank you New Churches! God has used you guys to greatly impact my life, ministry, and church plant!

Ep. 163 on Campus Pastoring - Glad I was referred this podcast and look forward to cheking out more of what's in the days to come. Thanks for keeping it on the front burner of ministry and challenging us in ministry to keep focus. You won't regret checking this podcast out if your one minsitry with multiple locations.

Thank you for having a 15 minute podcast with so much depth.

I always keep these guys up to date in my podcasting regimen. Thoughtful and informative "info-sessions" that keep me thinking about my church plant leadership team here in Tokyo and how we can always be improving. Good work guys, keep it up.

These guys are incredibly helpful for anyone interested in the topic of church planting. Thanks, guys.
