Dwellings Podcast

We are taking a break from our season on Kingdom Innovation bc it’s election week in the US, and we think this word from our teammate David Legge is one that is worth hearing, no matter what country you are listening from.

As our house churches were gathering here in Little Rock this week, David Legge was in town with us, and we asked him to share a message with us, that he titled, “An Other Worldly Kingdom.” 

David had given a similar message in Ireland recently at the New Wine Conference, but it was interesting how much of the perspective he gave to the crowd there applies to us in the United States as well, as other countries, when it comes to the ways we can accidentally start finding our hope in a political Kingdom, a Kingdom that is less than the spiritual Kingdom God has invited us into.

JR Woodward, author and national director of V3 church planting movement, shares how freedom and innovation enables movement. He tells us how a story of an ordinary woman innovating for the Kingdom in a retirement home, and he challenges us to all create more room for gifts of innovation to flourish in our communities, even in small ways.

Rob Wegner, Director of the Kansas City Underground movement of microchurches, shares with us the surprises he has had in his journey of doing ministry differently over the past seven years. Rob explains how decentralization can promote innovation, and what we can do when the best ideas come from outside of us.

While innovation is a key value in business and education, the church has been hesitant to innovate. In this episode, Kathryn and Jennie discuss why these hesitations exist, and how the church might apply innovative thinking to help it flourish. Jennie explains that the next generation is hungering for revival and awakening, and she talks about Gather 25, her greatest Kingdom innovation yet.

As Christian leaders, we often feel dissatisfied with the status quo or overwhelmed by rapid cultural shifts. We know something needs to change, but the fear of uncertainty, loss, or pain leaves us clinging to ineffective systems and practices. Drawing from Jesus' life and ministry, leadership catalyst and coach Rich Robinson of Scotland outlines a four-phase framework to navigate adaptive challenges and help you dream again, unlocking your kingdom potential.

We need to pursue Him passionately to experience more of the presence of God. King David reflects this in Psalm 63, and others like Moses and Isaiah show us what it is like to hunger after and interact with God's presence. In this message, you'll hear how God is calling us to turn away from other distractions and sins to gain a greater passion for friendship with him.
