Simple Church vs. Institutional Church

Which one multiplies faster? The cost is high. The reward is eternal. And no, Jesus-Pattern multiplication probably won't come with ONLY comfy pew or fancy coffee bar.

📣 Join the Movement:

After a two-year pause, Kevin Beasley and Glen “Buckshot” Buckley are back in the saddle—older, hopefully wiser, and still wildly passionate about faith-based non-profits, disciple-making, and inconvenient obedience.

This ain’t a shiny, polished “Christian influencer” episode. This is raw kingdom fire.


🎯 Big Themes:

  • 💸 Following Jesus will cost you. Time, money, comfort, even reputation. But it’s the only road paved with eternal reward.

  • 🧠 Most Christians believe in Jesus intellectually but live like practical atheists. Ouch. But true.

  • 🏠 The Church is flipping inside out. House churches, disciple-making communities, and underground networks are quietly exploding across America.

  • 🔥 Jesus didn’t build comfy rows. He built radical relationships. More time with fewer people > more people with less Jesus.

✝️ Highlights:

  • “Say Yes Anyway” – Kevin shares the raw story of how a late-night McDonald’s run turned into a two-hour gospel road trip, a river baptism, and a one-way ticket to Teen Challenge. Following Jesus is inconvenient. And it’s so worth it.

  • “Pisteuo Faith” – Not just believing in Jesus, but believing Him enough to die for it. (And live every day like you actually believe.)

  • “Jesus Preached 8 Sermons in 3 Years” – But He asked 340 questions. Disciple-making isn’t just teaching. It’s imitating, sending, obeying, and multiplying.

  • “The Walmart Church Effect” – We’ve traded Kingdom intensity for cultural convenience. But the underground Church? It’s alive, it’s multiplying, and it’s coming for the West.


🔁 Raw Quotes You’ll Feel in Your Bones:

  • “If you really follow Jesus, it will probably ruin your life. Comfort? Gone. Spare time? Spent. But eternity? Rewarded.”

  • “Jesus said, ‘Follow me.’ Not, ‘Come hear me speak on Sundays.’”

  • “Multiplication is happening. Quietly. Organically. Right under our noses.”

  • “We don’t need more church services. We need more obedience.”

🧭 For Aspiring Disciple-Makers:

  • Don’t wait to get permission. If Jesus is tapping you on the shoulder, say yes.

  • Use what you have. Where you are. Among who you already know.

  • Small is strong. Obedient is better than impressive.

  • If you’re burned out on church-as-performance… good. You’re ready.


⚡ Closing Charge:

You might not get rich. You might lose sleep. But when Jesus calls, say yes.

The Kingdom’s coming. And He’s looking for the ones who will follow—even when it doesn’t make sense.
