Episode 156 | Family Of God, Part 3: Worship

Jan 31, 2024    Autumn Gardner, Hunter Beaumont

Jesus spoke of His followers, the inhabitants of the kingdom of God, in familial terms. Being connected to Christ necessarily implies a simultaneous connection to members of His body, whom He calls family. This new family is distinct, marked by a fullness not found in the kingdoms of the world. This new family grows together in distinct expressions of kingdom life and is characterized by the corporate rhythms of generosity, community, worship, and commitment to God and each other.


In part three of this four-part series of conversations, Hunter and Autumn discuss the habit of weekly corporate worship. Gathered worship allows us to experience the fullness of the family of God and is a means of ordinary grace, yet making space in our lives for weekly corporate worship can be challenging. Hunter and Autumn identify five mindsets that discourage participation in worship and respond to each one.
