Dr. Ken Quick of Blessing Point Ministry continues his conversation with Matt and Jeremy about how Jesus speaks to His church as a corporate body and why many congregations struggle to hear Him. The powerful story of a ninth-grade girl in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania whose whispered insight resonated with an entire congregation demonstrates how God often speaks through the most humble members. Part 1 of this conversation. Listen to Part 2. Dr. Q.'s books and resources.

Healing the Heart of Your Church

• Churches often experience "corporate resonance" when Jesus speaks—everyone knows they've heard from Him
• Modern church culture has trained leaders to listen individually but not corporately as Christ's body
• Many churches are "misshapen" because they only recognize and utilize certain spiritual gifts
• Current church leaders must sometimes take responsibility for historical wounds in their congregation
• Church board burnout is often a symptom of deeper spiritual dysfunction
• Learning to listen as a corporate body requires courage to face uncomfortable truths
• Churches must cultivate spaces where every member's spiritual gift can be expressed and heard
• The delusion affecting many churches today may be a form of divine discipline for not listening
