Is God calling you to replant a dying church? God is raising up leaders across North America for the difficult work of replanting struggling, declining churches for his glory. How can you be confident that you are one of these?
Over the course of 30 days, Bob Bickford and Mark Hallock will lead you to explore the work of a replanting pastor. And, each day of this journey is designed to help you humbly and honestly discern whether this challenging yet God-honoring ministry is for you.
While God isn’t calling every pastor to be a replanter, He is calling some.
Am I a Replanter? is a thoughtful guide for discerning whether God is calling someone to church replanting. The daily questions cover leadership, resilience, vision, and spiritual readiness in a clear, practical way. Reading through them helped me reflect on my gifts and approach to ministry.
Personally, I didn’t feel a strong call to replanting at this time, which is part of the book’s value—it helps you discern whether this path is right for you. Some exercises felt repetitive or less relevant, but the framework is solid and useful for anyone seriously considering this ministry.
Really encouraged by this book. A great read for anyone discerning the calling of joining a replanting effort. Though geared towards the pastor, it would be a great read for any lay member. Not only that, there are plenty of wise nuggets throughout the book that are applicable to daily Christ-pursuit.
