MINI-SERIES: Part 2 of our sneak peek of Berea as Stu continues the first tutorial from the Berea Internship.Churches may share the same faith, but their theology, strategy, and practice often differ. They begin by using the Wesleyan Quadrilateral (Scripture, Tradition, Reason, and Experience) as a diagnostic tool to assess how churches develop their ministry frameworks. What does it truly mean to build a ministry that is based on the Bible? And when tough decisions arise, what do churches and individuals default to—what is their ultimate authority?They then explore the different strategies of churches by looking at how different churches raise up young people using Mark Senter III’s Four Views of Youth Ministry. From there, they examine how churches move from theology to practice. Stu draws on Little Country Church by Lovesong to illustrate how churches can come together around Jesus through the Word of God, rather than rigid institutional programs. They discuss how some churches institutionalise practice, while others, with a theological authority and a strong strategy can have a flexible practice.Finally, Tim challenges listeners to assess their own ministry framework—send in your responses!!00:00 Recognising churches are different11:10 What authority do you default to?18:23 Thinking through strategic differences among churches25:09 Examining different practices of churches37:25 Tim's challenge to our listenersDISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODEThe Wesleyan QuadrilateralThe Four Views of Youth Ministry, by Mark Senter IIICONTACT USShock Absorber EmailShock Absorber Website: shockabsorber.com.auSoul Revival Shop: soulrevival.shopCheck out what else Soul Revival is up to here
