Multiply Podcast Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland

In this Multiply Podcast episode, James Rankine and Paul Lowe discuss the topic of generational leadership; unpacking how people in each generation lead differently and what this means for those considering church planting and multiplication today. 

We know that it takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to plant a church. Planting a church requires so many more people, skills and talents than just the church leader; church planting at its best is a team effort.


In this episode we hear stories of those who have joined in the call to plant churches and be a part of that village. Intercessors, trustees, financial supporters, worship leaders, small group leaders, evangelists …

The audio for this podcast was taken from a seminar session at the Vineyard Leaders’ Gathering in April 2023, where James Rankine and Paul Lowe interviewed a panel of guests; Mark Epton, Gav Courtney and Pascale Westbury.

In this podcast we hear from Shapoor Ahmadi, a Civil Engineer and former asylum seeker from Iran, who is now based in Liverpool where he pastors the Liverpool Iranian Church and leads the Middle East outreach department of Mission24.

Formerly a devout Muslim, Shapoor shares his conversion story, how he was welcomed into the Kingdom and how he feels called to spend his life loving others and sharing the gospel with them. Paul & James chat with him about the evangelism and outreach he’s been doing in Liverpool and the lessons we can learn about reaching those from other cultures.

In this episode we chat with Susie Aldridge and Zeke Rink from Dreaming The Impossible (DTI) about what God is stirring amongst young people and how he wants to extend his Kingdom through this generation!

We love their heart for seeing young people come to know Jesus, and we can't wait for all that's in store as thousands gather for the DTI summer festival this July.

In this Multiply Podcast episode, James Rankine and Paul Lowe chat with Dr Lucy Peppiatt, Principal of WTC Theology, about all things theology.

They unpack the value of theological study and its role in church planting, the importance of spiritual formation in leadership, and how we can be life long learners who are wise with where we turn to for our spiritual food.

In this podcast episode John & Eleanor Mumford (Vineyard International Coordinators) share their journey of learning to be leaders who raise up other leaders, as God called them to bring the Vineyard to the UK and Ireland.
