Ep 106: This Beautiful Mess w/ Matt Davis

Brian is joined by Matt Davis, a former megachurch pastor and now head of an organization committed to helping leaders and laypeople heal and find purpose after church hurt.

In a wide-ranging conversation, they discuss and debate several key questions about the modern church:

  • Do the power structures that so often characterize our churches help or hurt?
  • Is the assumed role of the modern pastor what the Bible envisions for a pastor?
  • How often is the institution valued over and above the needs of the individual?
  • If we go to a church where we remain lost in the crowd, can that even be considered discipleship?

Listen in to their raw, unfiltered conversation as they wrestle with modern Christianity in modern churches.

If what the world needs most is deep people, and those people are generally formed through suffering, how do we reconcile that with our desire to experience safety?

Since the Soil & Roots journey tends to approach discipleship anthropologically, does that align with the Bible and sound theology? ย Can we understand spiritual formation through sources apart from the Bible?
