In this episode of Engaging Truth, Rev. Dr. Doug Krengel talks with Pastor Al Doering of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Kingwood, Texas, about church planting, discipleship, and the growing movement known as the Harvest Partnership. Reflecting on more than thirty-six years of ministry, Pastor Doering shares how Jesus continually reminds him that he is deeply loved, sent into the world, and called to help connect disconnected people to Christ.

The conversation explores the importance of spiritual capital, relational encouragement, prayer, leadership multiplication, and why the Church must focus on God’s kingdom over building its own castles. From new church plants across Texas to pastors and everyday disciples being sent into mission, this episode offers an encouraging vision for how the Holy Spirit continues to raise up harvest workers for a rapidly growing world.

If you’ve ever wondered how churches can move from maintenance to mission, this conversation is for you.
