Effective church planting requires a deep understanding of diverse leaders. Not every individual should plant, nor will all succeed. Fostering a thriving environment involves engaging with planters who are methodologically diverse and theologically adventurous. It's crucial to recognize their unique wiring without pandering to their entrepreneurial spirit. Support them through mistakes, provide valuable resources, and avoid bottleneck training. Authentic leadership stems from genuine love and service to planters, ensuring they feel valued and supported in their journey.
