Send us Fan Mail"Can you imagine moving across the country to be with your kids and then starting a church? That’s just what Robbie and Nancy Boyd did. Today we meet with Robbie and discuss his church plant in NC."We talk with Robbie Boyd about how God used an unexpected tug toward a church door to reshape his faith, his family, and his future in ministry. We also get real about the pressure of church planting, the need for spiritual maturity over head counts, and creative ways to help people experience the Word of God. • Robbie’s salvation story and the road from wandering to deep church involvement • Serving in multiple ministries and the growing desire to church plant • Moving from California to North Carolina during COVID and watching God redirect plans • Why church planting feels like jumping without a parachute and why calling matters • Measuring growth by spiritual maturity rather than attendance • Acts 2:42 as a simple blueprint for a healthy church • Pastoral boundaries, leadership friction, and the spiritual warfare behind it • Plays on Word Theater as a word-for-word Bible teaching and evangelism tool • Giving invitations without assuming who is saved and who isn’t to find out more check out our website at playsonword.org Pastor Robbie's church: https://www.calvarybiblefellowshipnc.org/If you enjoy Christian podcasts, Calvary Chapel stories, ministry behind-the-scenes moments, and biblical storytelling that sticks with you, hit play and come along.
