Ep. IV - Movements vs Organizations


Listen Later

Movements inspire. Organizations maintain. In this episode, we unpack the difference between a decentralized, Spirit-led movement and a structured, institutional organization and why Ride Nature leans toward the former.

Looking to the early church in Acts 2:42–47 and 1 Corinthians 12:12, we explore what it means to live as a unified yet diverse body, empowered by the Spirit rather than constrained by systems. From open-source leadership and grassroots agility to discipleship-driven growth, this episode calls us back to the organic, multiplying movement that Jesus began.

As Seth Godin said, “Movements begin when someone explains how a better world could look, and gives others a chance to join in.” Tune in and rediscover what happens when the church stops trying to control growth—and starts trusting the Spirit to lead it.
