What does it actually mean to “gather” as Christians?

In this episode of 2414, Pastor Dan and Shane spend time unpacking the “Gather: In Worship” portion of St. Luke’s 1-2-3 Challenge. From showing up consistently, to arriving early for prayer, to bringing a Bible, taking sermon notes, serving in worship, and building relationships across services, the conversation centers on how simple, intentional habits shape Christians over time.

The discussion explores why discipleship is built more through rhythms than inspiration, why participation matters more than consumption, and how worship forms Christians for life beyond Sunday morning.

They also reflect on:
• Why small steps matter
• How repetition forms identity
• The value of gathering even when worship feels imperfect
• Why Christians need shared life together
• How consistency creates deeper connection and belonging
• Why worship is about receiving God’s gifts, not personal preference

The 1-2-3 Challenge invites every person at St. Luke’s to take two intentional steps in each of three discipleship areas:
Gather. Grow. Go.

This week’s focus:
Gather: In Worship
