Amid a pandemic, there appears to be a recognition that families are enjoying a slower pace, a new focus on their neighbors, and online services have the opportunity to reach more and more people. So why the rush to get back to the way things were? Russ, Tony, and Ryan say, “not so fast.”

Many people feel a call to bring good news to their city, and many feel called to do that through planting a church. But a few years in, many church planters run into a lot of the same problems. Russ and Tony talk about these very problems, as well as what it could look like to plant not just a church, but a movement of The Church, in a city.

Table Network is all about putting the work of the ministry back into the hands off the average person and allowing THE Church to be and do what it has always been called to. So what about pastors? What’s their role in all this? What if you are a pastor, but you also want these same things? Can both of these things exist? If you’ve wrestled with this tension, this episode is for you!

If you’re like Bob or Becky, you’ve run into some big roadblocks when you have thought about how to engage your friends. Russ and Tony discuss those roadblocks and more on this extended episode of The Slow Down Podcast.

In part 2 of the discussion, Russ and Tony continue to look at the myth of church leadership. There is a lot that is common in our western church culture that isn’t always biblical. Could those things be doing more damage than good to the church’s purpose in the world?

SDP_SIGNALS_06 || Let's say, hypothetically, that Russ snuck into somewhere he wasn't supposed to be...do you think he'd have time to record a whole podcast without getting caught? Today, we find out! Rushing into the conversation, the guys talk about the idea of gathering those who are walking in the way of Jesus, and what it should look like according to what we see in scripture. Do you need a building? Do you need a pastor or a sermon? What about music? How simple can you really make it? And at the end of the day, what really is the point of a regular gathering?

SDP_SIGNALS_05 || Between Russ and Tony, who do you think is more likely to stop at a fancy shirt store on the way to a meeting? After a brief skirmish concerning that very topic, the guys jump into the next observation in the Signals Series, and it's one that hits close to home: our Reclaim Training. In the places where we see movements of the gospel among those uninterested in the church, we find groups of people who are leading others through Reclaim. For those unfamiliar, Reclaim is a course based around 9 fundamental truths we see in the scriptures.

We're going back to the basics on this one. Listen up! You can support the podcast by sharing it with others and by partnering financially at www.patreon.com/tablenetwork.
