In this episode of the Church Planter Podcast, Peyton Jones and Pete Mitchell introduce a new “church planter diary” style conversation where they discuss personal updates in the field of disciplemaking.

Peyton gives an update on The Abbey, the church plant he is leading in Carlsbad, and shares what God has been doing through house gatherings, a new meeting space, team leadership, Sunday discussion groups, communion, micro-testimonies, and everyday disciple-making in the neighborhood.

The conversation unpacks what it looks like to plant a church that is not just built around a Sunday service, but around people being formed, equipped, and released into mission where they already live. Peyton also talks about using Discipology in the church to pair people off, strengthen disciple-making, and help believers step into their own “micro mission.”

If you are a church planter trying to build from the ground up, rethink Sunday gatherings, train leaders, and mobilize everyday believers, this episode gives you a real-time look at the messy, practical, and encouraging work of planting from the trenches.
