Summary
The church has never struggled to create methods—it has struggled to remember its mission. In this episode of The Dialog, we explore the difference between biblical principles and human preferences, why Jesus gave the Church a mission instead of a blueprint, and how tradition can quietly become mistaken for truth. From governance models and house churches to worship, discipleship, sacrifice, and community, this conversation wrestles with one important question: What did Jesus actually intend the Church to be? Whether you've grown up in church, wrestled with disappointment, or are simply trying to understand its purpose, this episode offers a fresh perspective on why methodology should never replace mission.
