Multiply Podcast

Recorded live at the Multiply Summit in Nottingham UK (June 2024). James Rankine encourages us with the same charge that Paul gave Timothy at the end of his life; to continue boldly in ministry and preaching the gospel. Unpacking 2 Timothy 4:1-8, he reminded us that the same mantle passed on to Timothy echoes through the ages to every minister of the gospel. We must never stop proclaiming the good news, even in the face of resistance, building resilience so that we can lead through all situations and seasons.

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 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!
