In this week's episode of Microchurches, we continue through our conversation with Stacy Gaskins and Jeremy Stephens in our breakdown of the Missionary Journey. You will hear about the first two stages in the journey of a missionary, and how we can make spaces for our people to experience their own “altar moments” with the Lord, as well as walk with them through liminal moments that they may encounter.

In this episode of Microchurches, we continue in our conversation with Jeremy Stephens about the basics and foundations of microchurches. You will learn how discipleship must be tailored to microchurches and shaped around those they are discipling. And yet, a basic discipleship plan that includes spiritual formation, missional engagement, and accountable life is the place to start, with the goal to simply guide people to be learners and listeners of Jesus.

In this episode of Microchurches, we continue in our conversation with Jeremy Stephens about the foundations of what a microchurch is. Now that we’ve unpacked the ecclesial minimum, you will now learn how these 3 values that make up the church often exist in 2 spaces: Modalic and Sodalic. Worship, Community and Mission happen in both spaces, but in distinctly different ways.

In this episode of Microchurches, we continue in this series where we discuss the very minimum that defines what the church of Jesus must be. We call this the Ecclesial Minimum, which is the beginning of how we would define a microchurch - and not a box in which it is limited to. In this particular episode we dive into the value of Mission with Jeremy Stephens. You will hear the ways that mission is more than just evangelism and loving others, but an imitation of God carrying out His divine mission and being invited into that, and the kind of pursuit and discernment that is necessary as we are sent out.

As we continue in this series of hearing from microchurch leaders and the stories they have to tell, we are joined in this episode by Stacy Hester of Solo Moms. Her microchurch seeks to love and reach single mothers, often struggling with more than just navigating motherhood alone.
