The Ralph Moore Podcast

I met Jervie Windham a few years ago at an exponential event and was immediately impressed.   Here's a guy who started three churches while he was a career military officer: one in Korea and two in the United States. So, he was a seasoned man with big ideas about planting a conventional church.   We talked about what we were beginning to call micro church at the time. To date, he's plant...

Russell Joyce planted Hope Brooklyn and now leads Faith Center Eugene, one of the most significant churches in Oregon.  My friend Bill Gross discipled him as a young man at Hope Chapel Apex, NC. After graduating from seminary, he and a small team planted a church affiliated with Drew Hyun, Edwin Colon and New City Network. Part of Russell’s story involves Edwin’s generosity when he offered fr...

This is part four of a four-part podcast with deep interest to me.   My friend John Honold and I interviewed Kenneth Makuakane, a third-generation Hope Chapel Kaneohe Bay pastor.   He's an award-winning Waikiki entertainer concurrently leading the largest Hawaiian congregation in the state.

This podcast is personal in a very real way. John Honold has been a close friend for just under four decades. I met him as a cocky, even arrogant, 20-year-old who informed me, “I hope you don’t mind, but I knock off your sermons each Thursday under a tree at Windward Community College.” He was reteaching my Sunday messages in a microchurch he’d started on campus. I responded, “Keep it up, and you’...

At age 20, Jeff Fischer is the youngest planter we ever launched. He’s now busy planting a strong Gen Z church at age 63. The new church is a prevailing model/microchurch hybrid in a town with 40,000 college students. A young surfer, he caught waves on Sundays and then finished the day in our evening services in Hermosa Beach. He brought friends to the beach and church. When they ran out of cars t...

You'll to meet two of my favorite people in this episode. And, you'll understand more of what made the Hope Chapels so productive at multiplication. Some of this must be caught not taught. It's too difficult to get across in any other way. I've known Ron and Patience for several decades. She served on our staff for several years after planting numerous ministries.

This is an astounding interview. Victor Glover surrendered his life to Jesus during his third stint in prison. Within an hour he led another person to Jesus. The next step was leading Bible studies then a church while incarcerated. That led to early parole--he says that Satan got him kicked out to disrupt the ministry. But he wasn’t done. He’s developed a process for planting churches in state and...
