If you’re looking to understand the purpose, heart, and practicality of house church from people who have been doing it for years, you’ve come to the right place. The “Why House Church?” podcast was created for everyone on a house church journey-whether you’ve just been introduced to the idea or you’ve been doing this for years.
Our hope is that our episodes add perspective and testimony to the possibilities of what the Lord can do and is doing through the house church structure.

What Is House Church?
In this episode, we give a wide-reaching but practical answer to the questions “What is house church?” and “What do house church meetings look like?” We explain how we separate ourselves from a set liturgy and instead set each meeting’s structure by navigating different seasons and needs. In all of the variety of meeting structures, though, the focus is always on becoming better representatives and disciples of Christ who make disciples.
For an even wider view into what house church meetings might look like and include, check out the article series on our website (www.whyhousechurch.com/articles), A Glimpse into Gatherings. There, you’ll find a more detailed explanation of why we let go liturgy, as well as examples of how we’ve seen house churches include scriptural study and reading, fellowship, edification, worship, and prayer in their gatherings.

Rethinking Accountability

In this episode, we explain how accountability can actually be done more easily and effectively in a house church setting. As part of that, we look at some of the larger systematic issues with accountability in practice, doctrine, and leadership within the institutionalized church.

Red Flags
Переглядів 573 місяці тому
In this episode, we talk about “red flags” or warning signs of unhealthy or even dangerous patterns in faith (or other) communities, including some that point to cult-like behavior. We split these concerns up into a tier list. “Tier S” starts off with the most dangerous and difficult concerns to come back from, and we progress through to the “F Tier” red flags, which are odd and even goofy idio...

Sometimes, these happen when we run from any sense of organization out of fear of falling back into those old ways. That often starts from an unhealthy form of “deconstruction,” wh...

We also talk about how po...
