Jesus never told his disciples (us Christians) to go to church. He never commanded us to put on big worship services and lots of programs. Instead, he called us to believe our true identity and be the church.
In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar and Heath discuss how language creates culture, and how bad language leads to bad theology and bad practice.
Get started here… From this episode: "Understanding who God says we are, and what is now true of us, will set you free from performance-based Christianity. The pressure is off! It really is possible to move toward living in a close community of friends (believers and not-yet believers) who are on a spiritual adventure and becoming more like Jesus. This is what true discipleship looks like."
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
- Why it’s impossible to actually "go to church".
- How our American dream world and schedule make it really hard to live the life Jesus wants for us.
- How many non-Christian friends we have shows us whether we are living like Jesus.
- Why life lived in community with others is the only way discipleship truly happens.
