Sometimes our institutional churches provide comfort, care, instruction, and community. And sometimes not.ย  Much like the human person, our Christian communities are beautiful messes.

The guys jump back into the Greenhouse to expand on Brianโ€™s conversation with ex-mega church pastor Matt Davis and our exploration of The Formation Gap.ย  Dr. Tim guides the conversation through some challenging questions:

  • What is the role of the modern pastor today, and does it reflect a biblical shepherd?
  • Are mega-churches helpful for spiritual formation? Are they necessary and good?
  • We hear news of near-constant scandals and abuses of power in Christian institutions.ย  How do deep disciples evaluate and process these power structures in light of Christ as a suffering servant?

Join us for this thoughtful, thought-provoking dialogue about our journey to become more like Jesus in modern Christian institutions.
