At the heart of the THRIVE Initiative is the “Hero Maker” philosophy, inspired by the influential book Hero Maker by Dave Ferguson and Warren Bird. This approach encourages pastors to shift from being the hero of their own story to becoming hero-makers in others’ lives. By investing in people and empowering them to realize their potential, we foster a multiplication of leaders who can further the mission.

This feeling of defeat is stifling the urban urgency that is desperately needed for a sustainable movement of Urban Church Multiplication. Nitrogen has assembled a team of urban practitioners with decades of experience to provide the much-needed support for those looking to see healthy urban churches planted!

Most church planting experts would agree that creating a network of churches that are laser-focused on church multiplication is the most effective way to plant churches.
