The KC Underground Podcast

Cory and Brian interview Rick and Alice Bush who are missionary leaders with the Kansas City Underground. While serving with the Share the Hope community, Jesus invited them into a new context with the homeless community in Kansas City. Rick and Alice don't just "do ministry for" the people to whom they've been sent. They do ministry with the people in their context. They followed the Missionary Pathway and have seen a microchurch emerge.

In this episode, Cory and Brian interview Seth Bouchelle about long-term soul care and the need for spiritual formation within disciple-making movements. Discovery Groups are incredible for catalyzing movements. Discovery Bible Studies are great for setting a culture of obedience in disciple-making. What we see is a need for tools beyond discovery groups in order to "fill in the gaps" of every context. We have to lean into practices that keep us deeply rooted amidst a lifestyle that is not.

Cory, Brian, and Breanna Wiebe, on-going coaching director of the KC Underground talk through the idea of covocational. When we think about how the church is led and developed, we often think of a person or team of paid professionals who do the work of ministry. The truth is, many church leaders in the west are bi-vocational at best. Nonetheless, the goal remains to have a "full-time-paid-role" with the church. This often creates a separate class of paid professionals that inhibits the people of God from being equipped for ministry.
