Lampstands is a Calvary Chapel church planting podcast. In each episode, Mike Focht interviews a church planter to learn how they came to know God, how God led them into a place of service in ministry, and how God called and used them to plant a church. The goal is to encourage ministry workers and prospective church planters with their testimonies of childlike faith in the power of the Holy Spirit to guide, provide, and harvest spiritual fruit through the faithful preaching of God’s Word.
