In this episode, we sit down with pastor, entrepreneur, and author Joe Graves to explore how a spirit of innovation can breathe new life into church leadership. Joe shares candid insights from his own church planting journey—what sparked it, what surprised him, and how his entrepreneurial instincts have shaped both the triumphs and tensions along the way.
We also dive into his latest book, The Progressive Planter: A Handbook for Ecclesial Entrepreneurs, which offers practical guidance for launching inclusive, theologically grounded churches that resonate with today's communities. From spiritual rhythms to practical advice, Joe offers wisdom for anyone looking to step out in faith and lead boldly in the Church today.
