In this episode, Pete and Peyton dive into the often-overlooked practice of mentorship and its vital connection to discipleship. Reflecting on stories from Charlie Kirk, early church history, and their own church planting journeys, they explore why asking for a mentor is essential, what healthy mentoring relationships look like, and how they differ from coaching and training.

From stories of Peyton’s mentors to Pete’s business insights, the conversation unpacks both the joys and pitfalls of seeking guidance, the responsibility of mentees to act on what they learn, and how disciple-making naturally flows out of intentional mentoring. Whether you’re planting a church, leading a ministry, or just hungry to grow, this episode will challenge you to pursue mentors and become one for others.

In this special episode of the Church Planter Podcast, Pete and Peyton respond to the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk. With the nation divided and emotions raw, they reflect on Kirk’s public witness, his unapologetic faith, and the way he embodied respectful dialogue in a culture that often rewards division. Together, they wrestle with how pastors and church leaders should shepherd their people through such a moment—balancing grief, political tension, and the call to point back to Christ. This is a sober, heartfelt conversation about faith under fire, the dangers of conflating politics and the gospel, and the role of spiritual leaders when tragedy shakes a nation.
