Before I share today’s podcast, I’d love to give you a clearer glimpse of what is inside Multiplying Disciplers, the training platform we’ll be launching in the next few days. It is not just a collection of courses. Our vision is to provide practical, accessible equipping for people who long to multiply disciples — helping them grow step by step in the skills, practices, and habits that lead to greater fruitfulness. That is why every module is designed to move beyond theory. Learners are guided toward practical next steps, real ministry application, and simple actions they can put into practice right away. The first available programs are: * Cultivating Expectant Faith for a Movement * Making Your Discipling Reproducible * Seven Best Practices of Multiplying Disciplers * Developing a Gospel Message that is Good News * Assessing the Blockers and Boosters of Your Ministry * Becoming an Empowering Leader Who Unlocks Others A few things make this platform especially unique: * Content shaped by the broadest-ever research on movements * Training created by experienced movement practitioners * Flexible learning designed for busy ministry leaders * Practical next steps integrated throughout the learning process * Modules designed not just to inform, but to transform And here’s something important: The first 1000 people who join as Founding Members will receive free access for one full year. If you’d like to get a first feel for the platform before launch, you can explore the website here: https://multiplying-disciplers.org/ We’ll launch in just a few day. On launch day, I’ll send you the signup link so you can join as a Founding Member. We would love for you to be part of this from the beginning. Now to today’s podcast. If you’ve ever tried to move a church forward, you’ve felt the tension: everyone wants renewal—until it requires them to change. Big vision is common; lasting transformation is not. In Part 2, Rich Robinson—co-founder and team leader of the Movement Leaders Collective (with Alan Hirsch) and co-founder of CREO—unpacks his simple but profound 4-stage change pathway: DREAM, DISCOVER, DESIGN, DEPLOY. You’ll hear why most churches hit a bottleneck between inspiring ideas and real implementation, why the leader’s inner life matters more than any outward process, and how to make it through the “valley” when momentum drops and discouragement rises. If you want to lead change with both courage and wisdom, this conversation will give you a clear map. If you’re interested in more, here’s a link to Rich’s book “All Change” [https://www.amazon.com/dp/195514253X/?bestFormat=true&k=rich%20robinson%20all%20change&crid=2116QCEJZH71H&sprefix=rich%20robinson%20all]. Would you take a movement to think, Who in your network will benefit from this? Please forward or restack—it could inspire someone’s next step in multiplying leaders.

Before sharing today’s podcast with you, I have exciting news. Over the years, I’ve had countless conversations with leaders who deeply want to make disciples who multiply. They don’t lack passion. What they often lack is practical, accessible equipping that actually helps build the competencies needed for disciple multiplication in real life. That is why our team has spent many months building something new. At the end of this month, we will launch Multiplying Disciplers — a new online training platform designed specifically to equip movement practitioners, and church and ministry leaders to become multiplying disciplers. We built it for people like you. This is not simply “another course platform.” Every module is designed to be practical, immediately actionable, and transformational. The content draws from the broadest-ever research on movements, combined with the experience of seasoned movement practitioners and educational experts. Our goal is simple: to help leaders move from inspiration to real-life multiplication. At launch, the first 1000 people who join as Founding Members will receive free access for one year. Over the next weeks, I’ll tell you more about what is inside the platform. We can’t wait to finally share this with you. Now to this week’s podcast. If you’ve ever tried to lead meaningful change in church life, you already know the brutal paradox: people want things to change—until the change touches them. Vision is the easy part. The hard part is moving a community from “That sounds inspiring” to “We’re actually living differently.” In today’s episode, I’m joined by my friend and fellow countryman Rich Robinson—co-founder and team leader of the Movement Leaders Collective (with Alan Hirsch) and co-founder of CREO. Rich has helped leaders around the world introduce real, lasting, transformational change—not hype, not quick fixes, but change that actually sticks. We’re having a heart-to-heart conversation about the deeper realities of change. You’ll walk away with a sharper lens on what’s happening beneath the surface—because the real battle is often there—language for what’s really going on when momentum stalls or resistance rises, and fresh courage to lead with conviction when change gets costly. If you’re carrying a vision for renewal but feeling the weight of “How do we actually get there?”, this episode will strengthen your hands and sharpen your next steps. If you’re interested in more, here’s a link to Rich’s book “All Change” [https://www.amazon.com/dp/195514253X/?bestFormat=true&k=rich%20robinson%20all%20change&crid=2116QCEJZH71H&sprefix=rich%20robinson%20all].

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit emanuelprinz.substack.com [https://emanuelprinz.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_7] Greetings to you! My team and I have been overwhelmed by the reponse to our call for test users for the new digital training platform “Multiplying Disciplers” - a hugeThank-you to everyone who has volunteered. The only groups for which we still need more test users are women and practitioners from Africa. If you are either—or both—we would love to hear from you! Every test user will receive free early access to our first six training modules and can explore one or several courses. All we ask in return is that they share suggestions for improvement. If you’d like to be a test user, simply reply to this message with the subject line “Test User.” Today’s podcast episode continues our conversation on The Habits of a Multiplying Disciples. If multiplication in disciple-making feels more difficult than it ought to, the obstacle may not be your commitment or your zeal—it may be the patterns you’ve (unintentionally) trained into your daily life. I’m again joined by Roy Moran, a pioneer of disciple-making movements in North America. Roy lays out the core habits that mark multiplying disciples, why he frames them as habits rather than occasional practices, and how lasting multiplication grows from consistent rhythms—not momentary bursts of motivation. Most importantly, we talk about how you can begin cultivating these habits in your own life. If you’re aiming for progress that endures—not just a short-term push—this episode will encourage you and give you concrete next steps. Can you pause for a moment and think, who in your network will benefit from this? Please forward or restack—it could inspire someone’s next step in multiplying leaders.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit emanuelprinz.substack.com [https://emanuelprinz.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_7] Assalamu aleikum - peace be upon you! When you read this, I was scheduled to be in the Middle East, serving the leaders of NEO Leaders, a ministry of NOVO. NEO workers have started almost 10,000 new groups among Cousins in the Middle East in the last year alone, with a total of 60,000 groups started. The NEO leaders loved my book What Actually Starts Movements so much that they have translated it into Arabic. We will soon publish it on Kindle as well. Today’s episode is about The Habits of a Multiplying Disciples. If disciple-making multiplication feels harder than it “should,” there’s a good chance the issue isn’t your vision or your passion—it’s your habits. I’m joined by Roy Moran, a pioneer of disciple-making movements in North America. Roy unpacks what these habits are, why he insists on developing habits rather than merely practices, and why multiplication is sustained not by good intentions, but by repeatable rhythms. If you want to take your disciple-making to the next level—not for a week, but for the long haul—this conversation will both inspire you and equip you. Can you pause for a moment and think, who in your network will benefit from this? Please forward or restack—it could inspire someone’s next step in multiplying leaders.
