Bonus Conversation: Four Mistakes Early Microchurch Practitioners Make

In this bonus conversation, Rob Wegner and Brian Johnson dive into the heart of what it means to navigate the challenges of cultivating networks of microchurches. Drawing on years of experience and plenty of missteps, they reflect on the key lessons captured in the *Four Mistakes Early Microchurch Practitioners Make* article.

The discussion offers a candid, behind-the-scenes look at their journey—sharing practical wisdom, personal anecdotes, and gentle warnings for those stepping into the work of planting microchurches.

Here are a few highlights:

- The Temptation to Go Too Fast: Why rushing to “flip the switch” on microchurches often leads to frustration and missed opportunities for deep disciple-making.

- Starting with Structures Instead of Stories: How building a website or organization before truly living out disciple-making can pull practitioners away from their hyper-local mission fields.

- Avoiding the Hero Complex: The importance of decentralizing leadership and making room for diverse voices from the very beginning.

- Returning to the Basics: A reminder that intimacy with Jesus, prayer, and repentance aren’t just starting points—they are the ongoing foundation of all movement.

The conversation is a compelling call to slow down, stay present, and root deeply in the work of the Spirit. Whether you’re an early practitioner or a seasoned leader, this conversation is a must-watch for anyone passionate about microchurch multiplication.

Catch the full video above and lean into these lessons as you continue your journey.
