Episode notes
Church as a Movement and Community
- Church is a movement grounded in biblical community, not just attendance or personality-driven preferences.
- Understanding church from a first-century Middle Eastern mindset challenges American individualism and consumer mentalities.
Biblical Community as Family on Mission
- Biblical community is rooted in mission, unified by shared faith rather than just proximity or convenience.
- "Family" better captures the essence of church community than the buzzword "community."
Shift From Consumer to Contributor
- Stop looking for groups that simply meet your needs; instead, join a community where you contribute and serve others.
- Be the kind of person you want to find in others.
