Why do some churches plant new churches instead of growing larger themselves?

Why not just build a megachurch? 🤷‍♂️

In this clip from Episode 155 – Church Planting: DIY or Die Trying, Nate and Pastor Joseph unpack why some churches choose to multiply instead of expanding. It’s not just about square footage—it’s about theology, strategy, and sometimes… control issues.

Whether you’ve been in church your whole life or just started questioning why there’s suddenly a church in every strip mall, this one’s for you.

📣 Hosted by Nate and Pastor Joseph, When I Heard This brings real conversations about church culture, faith, and the weird things Christians say—all with a healthy dose of sarcasm and curiosity.
