Is your pastor's message too important to end on Sunday?
Multiply is a platform built to end Disciple Drift. We are selecting South Florida's most impactful Black pastors for Between Sundays — a series that celebrates their calling, honoring their story in a way their congregation has never heard it, and gifting the church a free week-long discipleship experience built from their own sermon. We just need an introduction.

We Honor Their Story
We sit down with your pastor to celebrate their calling — honoring their story in a way their congregation has never heard it.

The Miami-Dade Wish List
We have researched the ministries making massive community impacts across the Miami metro area. These are the leaders we want to honor.
Why Miami needs this voice:
We honor Pastor Dunn's deep legacy as a civic champion and former AACCC President, operating under the motto "Where Ministry Matters More Than Money." We want to celebrate his stewardship and explore how Faith Community carries the Sunday message into Liberty City all week long.
Why Miami needs this voice:
Known as the "Church of L.O.V.E.," Greater New Macedonia's framework of "Building the Kingdom by Building the People" is exactly what we were built to support. We want to honor Pastor Pierre's vision and explore how that building work extends beyond Sunday morning.
Why Miami needs this voice:
Affectionately known as "The Ship," this historic institution is a pillar of civic and economic leadership in South Florida. We want to honor Dr. Smith's theological depth and explore how The Ship keeps its geographically dispersed membership connected and formed between Sundays.
Why Miami needs this voice:
A National Historic Landmark shepherding Overtown since 1896. Dr. Crutcher's explicit focus on "Spiritual Restoration" resonates deeply with what Between Sundays is built to do. We want to honor that vision and document what restoration looks like in the days after the sermon.
Why Miami needs this voice:
Over two decades of structural consistency with dual Sunday formats speaks to a congregation built to last. We want to honor Dr. Jackson's stewardship and explore how Second Baptist translates its high-volume Sunday momentum into formation that keeps working through the week.
Why Miami needs this voice:
A vital anchor for the Haitian-American diaspora in South Florida. Dr. Felix's deep background in clinical counseling and theological education brings rare depth to pastoral formation. We want to honor his voice and explore how the Cell Ministry small-group structure carries the sermon into the week.
Why Miami needs this voice:
Bishop Holts' mandate of "Building Strong Families for the 21st Century" requires infrastructure that works all week, not just on Sunday. We want to honor his practical, systems-oriented leadership and explore how New Hope turns Sunday's Word into Monday's formation.
Don't see your church on the list?
We are always looking for leaders who are passionate about spiritual formation beyond Sunday.
Each Between Sundays episode contributes to the Multiply Research Lab's ongoing documentation of disciple drift patterns in the Black church — building the first city-by-city field record of what pastors are seeing and what God is showing them.

Without reinforcement, humans forget 90% of what they hear within a week. Discover how the Weekly Learn step beats the forgetting curve — and why the sermon your pastor preached Sunday is still preaching if you give it somewhere to go.
