In this inspiring episode, Ps Peter Hammer sits down with Ps Charlie Burke – Executive Ministry Director of Exponential Australia and local church planter in Blacktown, Western Sydney. Charlie shares his powerful story of coming to faith, resisting the initial call to plant, and eventually pioneering a church in one of Sydney’s toughest suburbs just before the pandemic hit.

We explore the heart and cost of church planting, what it takes to move from a growing church to a multiplying one, and why building healthy leaders and churches is non-negotiable. Charlie also shares insights from his national role, highlighting the trends, opportunities, and spiritual hunger he’s seeing across Australia.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to plant, lead, or multiply a church – or you’re passionate about discipleship and the future of the church in Australia – this episode is for you.
