Episode notes
Two-Story Church Identity
- Membership (first floor) and discipleship (second floor) are identities first and activities second.
- Will Franco stresses both are given at salvation and must be stewarded in sanctification.
Identity Before Activity
- Identities of membership and discipleship are rooted in the gospel, not earned by activity.
- Will Franco warns against turning church participation into a religious ladder for acceptance.
Practice The Four Membership Habits
- Steward your membership by practicing four corporate habits: gather, grow, give, and go.
- Treat these as ongoing lifestyles, not one-off tasks.
