The Movement Series - Ch. 1 Spent Matches "Confronting Church Effectiveness"

The conversation dives into the first chapter of 'Spent Matches', exploring the effectiveness of current church strategies in light of global trends. It confronts the brutal facts about church growth, challenges traditional assumptions about evangelism and discipleship, and emphasizes the need for a paradigm shift in leadership and ministry practices.

• The church should be seen as a community, not a building.
• Radical change often starts at the fringes, not the top.
