Episode: Re-missioned Church: Brad Swope on Contextualization in Church Planting
In 2022, our mission field has changed—and will continue to change with the realities of COVID, politics, sexual and gender concerns, and social justice issues. But even in our crazy world, the basic principles of kingdom mission stand unchanged. We ask C4SO churches and leaders how they are returning to these fundamentals in 2022—exegeting their mission fields, raising up leaders, engaging their communities in conversations about faith, and more!
The question from Bishop Todd that we address today (again) is: “Since church planting is in C4SO’s DNA, how are you preparing for your next church plant? How are you rethinking church planting for our current context?”
Our guest is the Rev. Brad Swope, C4SO’s Director of Church Planting. We talk about what he’s seeing in our diocese when it comes to contextualization in church planting, as well as how churches can shift from a “recovery” mindset to a “planting” mindset (even when we haven’t fully recovered from Covid).
