On todays Show the Gang talks about the complexities of ecclesiology, focusing on church governance and discipleship. James Wilkerson and others debated the merits of top-down versus bottom-up church structures, using examples like the Catholic Church and Baptist Church. They emphasized the importance of comprehensive discipleship, including personal growth, corporate growth, sound doctrine, and comprehensive equipping. The conversation also highlighted the need for structured prayer and Bible study, the role of tithing, and the balance between church structure and individual spiritual growth. They concluded that a spirit-filled approach is crucial for effective church leadership and discipleship. The conversation revolves around the practice of tithing and spiritual disciplines. James Wilkerson discusses the difficulty of calculating his tithe and suggests reviewing his finances annually.

Speaker 2 humorously compares the reluctance to accept such training to a military briefing on the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Don't Miss It!
