In this episode of Providence Threads, Pastor Toby Gruppen sits down with John Wagenveld, Director of Multiplication Network, to explore what it really means to multiply disciples, leaders, and churches.Together, they unpack a critical reality: even in places like West Michigan—often seen as “churched”—we are far from gospel saturation.

Are we ready?
