In this time where we’re all spread out, why is it important that we still gather with other Christians? How do we even do that in this season of social distancing? Today on the podcast we’re talking about what role the Church plays in this season, and how God’s people can be hope to a world that desperately needs it.

When you watch the news you might hear that right now is not the time to invest. With volatile markets and stocks in danger, that would seem to be the case. But the most important capital that we have isn't financial. And right now is the perfect time to invest it.

How do we live out the Great Commission and love our neighbor during a season where we’re distancing ourselves from one another? How do we live our lives on mission while we’re staying at home?

I think this problem we’re running into actually provides us with an opportunity to be the church in a way that is really timely and gives the world a picture of hope. That’s why I’m super excited to invite you to join me on my new podcast, Big Happy Family. For the next few weeks, we’ll tackle stuff like making disciples in your home, loving your neighbor, supporting your local community, engaging with your church and more, all in this season of social distancing. Each week I’ll give you a new tool, framework, exercise, or idea for building a missional family and loving your neighbor, even while we’re scattered.

So I hope that you’ll join me! Just search Big Happy Family anywhere you get your podcasts and subscribe today to be updated when new episodes come out. Together, we can make followers of Jesus and give the world the hope that’s found in the gospel. Subscribe to Big Happy Family today.
