Episode 156 – Church Planting: Calling, Chaos, and the Cost

Ever felt called to do something big for God… and then immediately wondered what on earth you just signed up for? 😅

In this episode of When I Heard This, Nate and Pastor Joseph continue their honest (and slightly chaotic) conversation about church planting — what it really means to start a church, the hidden costs no one talks about, and the tension between calling and burnout.

They get real about:
• Why passion alone won’t keep a church plant alive
• The emotional and financial toll behind “doing ministry”
• What happens when your calling feels more like chaos
• How to hold on when obedience gets uncomfortable

Whether you’re a pastor, volunteer, or just trying to understand how churches start (and survive), this one’s a must-watch.
