Bill Riedel on 10 Years of Church Planting in Washington, DC14 Oct 202100:38:44
Washington, DC is perched on the forward edge of national and global events. The seat of the United States’ federal government is a place of both high ideals and intense conflict; civic pride and partisan politics. But as believers, we can all agree that Washington, DC needs gospel-proclaiming churches. Bill Riedel joins the podcast today to discuss his ten years of church planting in Washington, DC. Bill and his family live right on Capitol Hill, and Bill is the founding and lead pastor of Redemption Hill Church there. Bill has served in ministry since 1998 and currently serves Acts 29 as the DC Area Director and on the North Atlantic Leadership Team.

Tory Mayo: Remain Faithful - Session 429 Jul 202100:32:17
"Remain Faithful" was the title and theme of Acts 29’s US virtual conference in 2020. With so many disruptions to “normal” life, we knew many church leaders were feeling tired, discouraged, and ready to give up. Each session from Matt Chandler, Ray Ortlund, Tony Merida, Tory Mayo, Jen Wilkin, and Rudy Rubio encouraged us to hang on, endure, keep going, keep making disciples, stay the course, go the distance with Christ. For this week’s episode of The Acts 29 Podcast, we want to feature the talk Tory Mayo gave on staying faithful in our discipleship with Lord Jesus.

Mez McConnell on Acts 29 and 20schemes17 Jun 202100:29:30
When we imagine Scotland, we might think of castles, rugged hills, or reformers like John Knox. But in Scotland’s housing schemes—inner-city neighborhoods burdened by poverty and crime—the reality is very different. These schemes are in desperate need of local, Bible-preaching churches. Through Church in Hard Places, Acts 29 works closely with 20schemes, a ministry seeking to plant healthy, multiplying churches of gospel light in the darkest corners of Scotland. Mez McConnell joins the podcast today to discuss church planting in Scotland through 20schemes and Acts 29. Mez is one of the pastors of Niddrie Community Church in Edinburgh and the founder of 20schemes. He’s written several books, worked in inner-city areas in England, Scotland, and Brazil, and has a particular passion for training men and women for ministry in this context.

Planter Profile: Eduardo Fergusson03 Jun 202100:32:06

The Priority of Preaching with Yancey Arrington27 May 202100:45:50
There are many issues that compete for a church planter’s attention and energy when establishing a new church. Location, finances, community engagement, web design, and vision casting to name a few. But it’s the telling of the ancient story that leads to transformation in people’s lives. Planters desiring to impact their communities for Christ must prioritize the public proclamation of the Scriptures.
India's Growing Church with Jeff Neville20 May 202100:35:47
The Acts 29 Emerging Regions Network serves in places where Christians are few, churches are under-resourced, and persecution is severe—places like India, one of the most unreached regions in the world. Yet in spite of complications from a global pandemic, unrest, and opposition, Jesus is growing his church in India.
Acts 29 Español with Chuy Rodriguez13 May 202100:33:17
Acts 29 exists to magnify Jesus through planting healthy, multiplying churches in every corner of the globe. One new and exciting development to that end is the launch of Acts 29 Español. With about 60 million Hispanics and almost every Latino country in the world represented in the United States, we have a distinct opportunity to reach and train Spanish speakers in the gospel, for God’s glory around the world.
