Why Your Church Isn’t Growing and Maturing w/Alan Hirsch

42 minutes

When we talk about how mature our church is, we often think about age, structures, and programs. But the church is none of those; the Church is people. Are your people mature?

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about why your church isn’t growing or maturing with our very special guest, Alan Hirsch. Alan is a leading voice in the missional movement of the Christian West and a heck of a great guy!

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

A surprisingly simple “key” to unity and maturity found in Ephesians 4.

How to view leadership and ministry through a biblical perspective.

Why you are a gift to your church and community, given by Jesus himself!

What happens in a church that doesn’t recognize and embrace all 5 of Jesus’ gifts.

From this episode:

"Here’s what's exciting... We often use it (Eph. 4) as a leadership conversation, actually in the book of Ephesians, it's not about leadership. The first instance and radical way of taking this is that the heroes of the text would not be a group of leaders from a seminary, it's a group of local hacks and local churches. And they were small house churches, Missional sites."
