I Started without a Sending Church or Agency (with Reno, Nevada Church Planter Eric Tastet)

In this episode, I'm joined by Reno, Nevada church planter Eric Tastet. As he looks back on his church planting experience, and contrasts it with a revitalization project he did subsequently in Ohio, he talks about some of his early struggles and how he wishes he had had a sending church or agency, rather than just striking out alone.

At minute [3:50] I mention Thom Rainer's book Who Moved My Pulpit?: Leading Change in the Church.*

At minute [45:59] I reference Building Your Church from the Ground Up* by Mike Mutchler.

At minute [1:04:25] Eric recommends a few books: The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure* by Greg Lukianoff, Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know* by Malcolm Gladwell, and 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos* by Jordan B. Peterson.

And at minute [1:11:35] Eric mentions his own podcast, The Tax Free Crypto Podcast.
