These are the big issues that make headlines, that draw attention, that spark conversation. But what if there’s a problem so prevalent, so pervasive, so all-encompassing that we have a hard time even seeing it? What if a church filled with Christians quietly devoted to the American Dream is the silent scandal of the church? On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he explores how the church can adopt disciplines that mold and shape hearts that chase a bigger dream – the dream of God’s kingdom, announced by Jesus Himself.

Sharable Quotes (#NewChurches): We not only have a new Father, but a whole new family through adoption into the gospel. I not only get to call God “Abba Father,” but I get to call those who look and have radically different backgrounds than me my brothers and sisters. — Tony Merida The senior pastor and worship pastor are not leading worship; they’re the lead worshipers. So, don’t sit in a green room. Be engaged in every moment of worship because you want your people to see that gathering together matters. — Vance Pitman Jesus didn’t just Zoom from heaven and tell us what to do, but He incarnated Himself and lived among us. The Word became flesh. We are embodied beings, and our faith is best lived out in embodied ways. — Tony Merida Church is not an event you attend or watch; it’s a family to which you belong. So many of the “one anothers” in the New Testament cannot be lived out apart from fellowship, community, and gathering together. — Vance Pitman Don’t get so locked in on Planning Center that you don’t leave room for the Holy Spirit of God to move and redirect your time of gathering. — Vance Pitman The post Renewing the Importance of the Gathered Church appeared first on New Churches.

Season 2, Episode 2: The De-Churching of America

In the United States, we are experiencing the largest and fastest religious shift in the history of our country. Recent research shows about 15 percent of American adults — that’s 40 million people — have stopped going to church, and all of this, within the past 25 years. It’s a drop that has affected every region in the country, every theological tradition, every age group, every ethnicity, every education level, every income bracket. You might look at the data and assume that we’re headed for a non-religious, non-spiritual kind of culture in the next thirty years. But the religiously unaffiliated—the fastest-growing religious demographic in the United States—are often still religious in personal and privatized senses, only that their religious identities are in flux, mixing and matching various practices. On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he discusses what rebuilding looks like in the aftermath of this massive cultural decline in churchgoing.

I Post, Therefore I Am

Digital technologies have woven a complex web that alters our perceptions and interactions. We think of ourselves differently now, and we experience life differently than 20 years ago. How does this shift, this digitization of the self, affect our understanding of what it means to be human? In this environment, spiritual formation will have to be, in some ways, counter-formation. An alternative to the digital habits and assumptions that form us, often unthinkingly, in machine-like dehumanizing ways. Renewal will require us to ask hard questions about who we've been, who we are, and who we're becoming. On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he asks: How does the digital age shape, inform, or deform our understanding of discipleship and spiritual growth?
