Deep dives
The dynamic between microchurch and macrochurch
The podcast episode explores the dynamic between microchurches and what some would call macrochurches. It discusses how microchurches are seen as the simplest form of church, but also how their life necessitates something more, a larger family or city-wide church. The episode highlights that macrochurches, often large group weekend gatherings, play a key role in creating culture, unity, vision, teaching, worship, and harvest. There is a recognition that both microchurches and macrochurches are fully the church, but serve different purposes. The episode emphasizes the need to build structures and formats that facilitate both types of churches, drawing from biblical examples and historical church practices.
