West Franklin Talks

On today's episode of West Franklin Talks, Matt and Dave talk more about this past Sunday's sermon and Luke 7. They explore the one thing Matt hoped the listener took with them, the difference of head knowledge and heart knowledge, how each type of knowledge impacts a person's faith journey, and consider that maybe studying the Bible less is the right thing to do. Intrigued? Then grab something to write down your thoughts and get to it!

What if we are approaching groups with the wrong perspective? What if there is an old way and a new(er) way of thinking about groups? What if starting a new group is as easy as asking 2 or 3 friends to be in a group with you? What if groups weren't led by one person but each person in the group led out of their strengths and gifts? Building on the Disciples Multiplying Disciples strategy talked about in August in 2020, Matt and Dave explore what could be if we set aside the old mindset of what a group is and embrace a new way of starting groups and being part of a group.  They'll also talk about plans for bringing adult groups back on campus and much more. So get ready to be challenged (but in a good kind of way) on today's episode of West Franklin Talks!

Matt and Dave jump further into Luke 5 and talk about what it means to be fisher of people.
