Tom Ricks: Planter, Pastor, and EPC Multiplication Leader

Welcome to the 5 Point Church Planting Podcast where two church planters hope to make at least one good point. In each 30-minute episode, our goal is to discuss the ins and outs of church planting from a Reformed and Presbyterian perspective (particularly the PCA) as well as hear from some insightful voices concerning church multiplication. Our desire for this podcast is to be helpful, encouraging, stimulating and above all else glorifying to God.

5 Points is hosted by two guys from two very different parts of the country. They went to different seminaries. One roots for the Crimson Tide/Memphis Grizzlies and the other is intimately acquainted with the heartbreak of being a Minnesota professional sports fan. One is GenX and the other is a Millennial but they have one thing in common and that is a passion for church planting.
