How do you raise up the next generation of church leaders—and then get out of the way? In this episode, Aaron sits down with Jary Reed and Scott Vander Ploeg to unpack how discipleship really works, why leadership starts young, and how churches can unlock the 90% of leadership potential sitting idle in their pews. They cover everything from the theology of adulthood to why pastors shouldn’t fear being replaced. It’s raw, funny, and full of wisdom from decades of raising leaders—and watching them surpass you. 🔔 Subscribe to join the movement of disciples making disciples. 📍 Learn more about the Multiply Conference: conference.multiply222.com - https://disciplestandard.com/ Support the Podcast - https://www.patreon.com/c/DiscipleStandardPodcast Visit our church - https://sunlightchurch.com/ Connect with us - https://multiply222.com
