This was wonderful, Kevin. I’ve never heard it laid out like this before and I think it’s so helpful to picture it in this way. Feels tangible. Thanks for sharing this!

Thank you, Giana. It has been very helpful for me to remember that any time we gather it is for the purpose of health so that we can advance the Good News.

Blessings!

Excellent! Have you seen this is action anywhere?

Yes! Many places, but mostly in smaller and simpler forms of church. With that said, this is obviously a picture perfect expression of a body of believers, and it is not something we should expect in its fullness. Just a model to pursue. I’m happy to talk more if you are interested in how we develop simple churches.

Blessings, Cathy!

Kevin, I remember you sharing this message last year at the retreat. It impacted me then and still does. I host an actual fire once a month for other men. Some I’ve walked with for a a while. Some are newer friends. Disciple making looks different for all of us but we need each other. Thanks for sharing.
