This episode is recorded late in the evening while Christy made dinner for a family coming back from the hospital. Enjoy the background noise and extra banter while we talk about ministering to people throughout the week during coronavirus (COVID-19) and all the time. We were able to continue with business as usual (almost) while we are in this unique time where large groups aren’t meeting and businesses are closed. We wanted to take some time and talk about what House Churches should be doing all the time that become particularly important during seasons like this. We talk about staying in touch throughout the week, providing extra care for the elderly and sick, and generally supporting one another as a church. We also talk about how we are functioning for worship gatherings while “social distancing” is in place.
House Church isn’t always easy. Just because it is a good way to be a biblical church does not mean that everything will go smooth right away. House churches are still made up of people with a sinful nature, people who have hurts and unmet expectations. Also, a lot of pastors haven’t been trained to shepherd in the family environment that house church provides. What is more, establishing a healthy “DNA” in a house church network takes years. On this episode we talk through the difficulties that come with house church and the blessings that come with overcoming those hardships.
