Episode 42
Wednesday, 14 May, 2025

In the early days of church planting, having the right leadership structure can mean the difference between agility and frustration—or even survival and failure. In this episode of Church Planters Ask, Danny Parmelee and Chris Highfill break down the best leadership model for the prelaunch phase, including the triad governance structure that gives church planters accountability without unnecessary red tape. They also share the biggest leadership pitfalls to avoid (hint: don’t rush into forming an elder board too soon!). From short-term advisory teams to spotting red flags in potential leaders, this episode is packed with practical wisdom to keep your church plant moving forward. Don’t let slow decision-making or internal politics stall your mission—tune in now!
