Fuel For Pastors
Fuel For Pastors is hosted by Bogdan Kipko. Bogdan is the Senior and Founding Pastor at Forward Church in Irvine, California. Fuel For Pastors is a podcast by a pastor for pastors. In his second letter to a young pastor named Timothy, Apostle Paul says, "And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also." (2 Timothy 2:2). We believe that when the pastor gets better, everyone gets better. Being a pastor is demanding and exhilarating. Hell is hot, eternity is a long time, quitting is not an option, and souls are waiting to be won for Christ. As iron sharpens iron, this podcast aims for one pastor to sharpen another.

CPL 005: Counting People Because People Count
On this episode of The Church Planting Life Podcast, I talk about what most church planters hugely and almost always exaggerate, and that is the amount of people that come to their church. You already know you are speaking to a church planter when you ask a guy how many people come to their church, and they answer you with "if you count all the women and children and those that come once a year, our church has this many people." Don't feel bad because I've been there and I am definitely a recovering addict of being obsessed with the number of people that come to church. I share with you how God has been working on my heart during my planting journey and some startling discoveries I made along the way, when it comes to counting the people in your church.
