Rob Wegner joins Stand Firm Parents to challenge the way we think about church. Rather than centering faith around a weekly event, what if we saw it as a lifestyle of disciple-making? This episode explores how microchurches, spiritual families, and everyday disciple-makers are the future of faith. Rob Wegner is a leading voice in the missional movement and the co-founder of KC Underground, a decentralized network of disciple-making communities. He also serves with NewThing, helping catalyze reproducing churches globally, and leads Microchurch.Next for Exponential, equipping leaders to embrace microchurch movements. Rob is the co-author of The Starfish and the Spirit, a book on decentralized church movements.

So we'll get into the conversation of our ecclesial minimums of worship, community, and mission. And we'll give you an overview of a couple of tools we use to coach leaders on facilitating the "worship" component of a microchurch.

In this episode, Cory and Brian walk through a tool called "Moving from a Discovery Group to a Microchurch." This has been a helpful tool for groups of people as they identify and affirm themselves as a church based on the activities and characteristics described in Acts 2:36-47. We want to emphasize that church is not a program, but an identity, and that this tool helps groups understand what it means to live into that identity. We also discuss how this tool can be used with different group sizes and contexts, and how it can help groups think through multiplication as well.

The conversation highlights the vision of New City for gospel saturation and the importance of integrating different church expressions. Pete also shares stories of microchurch expressions at New City, such as throwing parties for atheist friends and hosting equipping Zoom calls. The main takeaways include the need for integration and the presence of God in the church.Takeaways Adapting existing church models towards decentralized, adaptable structures is key for urban disciple-making movements. Integration and the presence of God are essential in mobilizing the local church. Microchurch expressions can involve throwing parties for non-believing friends and hosting equipping Zoom calls.
