In this episode, Josh and I explore some key ideas and quotes from his book, and talk broadly about the gathering of the Church. Then we shift our focus to pastoral ministry and dig into the specific lessons he's learned in planting and pastoring Hope City Church—both the challenges and the moments of clarity.Quotes for Notes:“I think that when the church gathers together it should look like they worship Jesus.”“If we are shooting for churchgoers, then our goal is to keep them in the room… If our goal is believers, then the only way that person is going to come to faith is for that person to experience faith.”“The Gospel is not how to practically make your life better… The Gospel is supernatural transformation.”Links:The American Gospel: https://www.amazon.com/American-Gospel-Letter-Post-Christian-Church/dp/B07Y4JNGNSHope City Church Website: https://www.hopecitymeridian.church/
