This has led to a lot of territorialism and bad blood between church leaders in Italy. In contrast, we have been very intentional in our church planting efforts in Turin over the past six and a half years, focusing on building relationships and creating moments of generosity.

“Transition, Leadership & Longevity”
– Bruce Zachary & Ryan Marr

In this episode of the Cultivate Church Planting Podcast, host Brian Kelly is joined by Bruce Zachary and special guest Ryan Marr, lead pastor of a thriving church in St. Petersburg, Florida. Together they dive deep into the lessons learned from leading through transition, pastoring in a transient community, and
shepherding a church with a complex history and a massive former-Walmart facility.

Ryan shares candid insights about taking the reins after a difficult transition, honoring the past while building for the future, and how five years of patience helped rebuild trust and culture. They discuss everything from ESL outreach to managing multi-million-dollar maintenance, navigating staff changes with compassion, and understanding nonprofit financials—all while staying rooted in the calling to care for people.

Whether you’re a church planter, a pastor stepping into transition, or someone dreaming about what’s possible, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom and heartfelt encouragement. And don’t miss Ryan’s final word to planters: “Don’t do it alone—find a real friend.”
