The Multiply Project Podcast

Most pastors want to multiply, but few know where to find the leaders to do it. The Multiply Project Podcast is for pastors who are ready to move from addition to multiplication. We believe you don't need to import talent; you need to uncover it. There are church planters in your church right now. Join us for honest, peer-to-peer conversations about calling, equipping, and sending from within. We sit down with practitioners, planters, and network leaders to share the actual tools and "trenches" stories you need to build a pipeline. Stop waiting for a superhero to show up. Be the church that sends.

The Clinical Residency: Building a Lab for Planters with Chandler Miner | Episode 5 You don’t need a massive budget or a formal syllabus to start developing church planters; you just need to be a trainer. Most pastors feel the tension between the "addition" of growing a local church and the "multiplication" of sending one out. They assume that moving into a sending model requires complex infrastructure or a seminary-level residency. In this episode, Jeff Bennett and Craig Whitney sit down with Chandler Miner, Operations Director at The Well Austin, to dismantle that myth. The Well is a 14-year-old church plant with a "white-hot" vision to plant 100 national and 100 international churches in their first 50 years. Chandler reveals how they move toward this goal not through classrooms, but through a Clinical Residency model. By treating the local church like a surgical lab rather than a lecture hall, they empower emerging leaders to get the "reps" they need in real-time. We discuss how to be a talent scout who sees potential where others see unreadiness, and how to use a "Learning Contract" to create high-accountability growth. Whether you are leading a staff of fifty or a core team of five, this conversation provides the framework to start identifying, equipping, and sending the church planters who are already sitting in your chairs. The Takeaway Be the Scout: Review your leadership team this week. Identify one person with "potential" (not just readiness) and initiate a simple "Clinical Rep." Instead of giving them a book to read, give them a specific project or meeting to lead, and commit to providing immediate, 15-minute feedback afterward.

Be a Kingdom Scout: Finding Planters in Your Church with Clayton Greene | Episode 4 03/06/2026

Be a Kingdom Scout: Finding Planters in Your Church with Clayton Greene | Episode 4 Your next church planter isn’t waiting for an invitation from a seminary; they are likely sitting in your church right now, leading a team at work or a small group in their neighborhood. Most pastors feel the tension of a leadership shortage, but the reality is often a “sight” problem rather than a “talent” problem. We’ve been trained to recruit for slots instead of scouting for callings. In this episode, Jeff sits down with Clayton Greene, , to discuss the shift from a "hiring" mindset to a "scout" mindset. Clayton shares his own journey from the marketplace into ministry and explains how Summit Church built a culture that identifies, develops, and sends leaders from within. This conversation moves from the "Safe" territory of acknowledging the need for more leaders into the "Deep" work of giving away ownership, celebrating the "send" as much as the "stay," and looking into the marketplace to find raw, high-capacity leaders who are ready to be mobilized for the Kingdom. If you are an Explorer Pastor looking for a starting point or a Champion Pastor ready to refine your pipeline, Clayton provides the framework to help you see the potential already in your midst. One Actionable Step: Be a Kingdom Scout. Don’t wait for a superhero to walk through your doors. This week, use the Scouting Guide to identify three people in your church who exhibit the character and grit required for planting. Move them from "volunteers" to "candidates" by having one intentional conversation about their calling.
