— Current Episode
While high invitation and the removal of stumbling blocks are essential in our churches, are we missing the call to provoke deeper, more meaningful spiritual growth? In this episode, Banning is joined by Andrew Gard, Rachael Johnson, and Nate Edwardson to explore the delicate balance many churches face between creating an inviting, warm environment and challenging individuals to grow in spiritual maturity. They look at how Jesus exemplifies the perfect blend of love and truth—holding both in tension without compromising either.
