Growing the Vine in Canfield

Description
Hello again everyone We received so much positive feedback about my conversation with Marty Sweeney (a few episodes ago) that I thought we should talk again.  This time around I wanted to talk to Marty about a subject that we have discussed often over the past decade, especially during the ‘Trellis and Vine’ workshops we often run in across the States. The question is simple enough: if we want to have a church with ‘disciple-making’ as its heartbeat—and we’re aware that our current church culture isn’t really like that—where do we start?  In this episode (as he has done many times in our workshops) Marty tells the simple but very encouraging story of how he went about this task at his church in Canfield, Ohio.  I hope you enjoy hearing the story for the first time. I still enjoyed discussing it for the umpteenth time!  Your brother  Tony This is a public episode.
