483 - Signs of a Healthy Church?

Voxology

Signs of a Healthy Church? Today on the Voxology podcast, Mike and Tim reflect on Thanksgiving and delve into the complexities of choosing a church. They discuss the importance of community, the role of disagreement, and the need for authenticity in worship. The conversation highlights the significance of power dynamics in church leadership and contrasts the liturgy of politics with the liturgy of the Lord's Supper. Ultimately, they emphasize the value of building a new humanity within faith communities, where hospitality and mutuality thrive despite differences.

Mike and Tim discuss the importance of fostering unity in diversity within church communities and explore practices that promote communion and community, the value of embracing disagreement, and the necessity of repairing relationships. The dialogue emphasizes active participation in church life, the distinction between co-learning and authoritarian leadership, and the power of weakness in faith. They also reflect on the significance of the crucifixion as an act of enthronement and the importance of relational dynamics over doctrinal statements.

As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue. Feel free to email in questions to [e-mail], and to engage the conversation on Facebook and Instagram.
