Listen "No, You're Unhealthy: Taking Stock of Church Vitality and Effectiveness"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a text“I told my doctor he was counting my heart rate incorrectly.” You ever heard that before? Yeah, me neither. People who know, know, and we trust them. “It’s all about perception.” “Your church is unhealthy.” “We’re just trying to help.” You ever heard that before? Yeah, me, too. All the time. People who don’t know are always vying for your ear. What does it mean that a church is healthy? What does it look like for it to be sick? When it’s sick, is it flatlining, or does it just need a few days to recover? Does it still have the power of Jesus in its blood? Is it just malnourished, famished, or parched? In this episode, Peter, Pastor Nate, and Kyle talk about how we measure church health and vitality. Our Triune God likes lines and numbers, but are the lines we are drawing and the math we are doing consistent with His? How do our evaluative measures measure up to His? Maybe our scientific ruler is way sharper or shorter than His? Perhaps lot of numbers aren’t always a sign of health or strength. One doesn’t seem very much to us, but that’s all it took for a Savior to accomplish redemption. Twelve doesn’t seem like very much, but that’s all it took to spread the gospel across the globe. Maybe death is actually life. Welcome to another episode of The Parrhesians Podcast!https://theparrhesians.com/
