In this episode of the Fully-Funded Church Planter, Chestly Lunday sits down with Demeko Bivens to talk about the unique dynamics of planting churches in urban environments.

Demeko shares what he’s learned about entering a city with humility, listening before leading, and building a church that reflects the diversity and complexity of the people it serves. From the dangers of rushing vision to the importance of spiritual authority in underserved contexts, this conversation is packed with insights for anyone planting in or around the urban core.

Whether you're planting in the city or simply want to understand what urban ministry requires, this episode offers a grounded, Spirit-led look at what it means to serve faithfully in complex places.
