Episode notes
Campus Crusade Formed Deep Community
- Kathryn shares how Campus Crusade offered deep relational discipleship through meals, errands, and mentoring outside Sunday services.
- Those everyday interactions taught prayer, scripture memory, and practical spiritual growth more than formal services did.
Relational Gaps Spawn New Forms
- House churches and parachurch groups often arise to fill relational gaps left by institutional churches.
- David Legge insists that wherever believers truly follow Christ and have his Spirit, that community is the church regardless of structures.
Balance Reform With Respect
