Church Disrupted

The Church is NOT a building. It's NOT an event. And it's DEFINITELY NOT an organization or business. The Church IS the people of God! And when the real Church shows up, there's no greater force for good in the world. Sadly, though, most people think of things like politics, judgment, big organizations, manipulation, and abuse when they think of the church. These bad actors are giving a bad name to Christians everywhere and harming the reputation of God's church and Christianity in culture. In episode 005 of the Church Disrupted Podcast, we share stories about the Real Church stepping up and loving like Jesus. We celebrate God's people and the difference the Church can make when we walk in love. The only question is, will you be part of the Real Church going forward? Our prayer is that you say YES!
