HCP - Ep. 222 - Intro to Values (P. 3 - Place)On this episode of the HCP, Larry and Drew discuss the importance of, yet the danger with the “place” of worship. Too often we can not only make our buildings the center of our ministry, we can make it a sacred part of ministry which we must be careful with. God uses all types of churches and discipleship methods, but we must always be willing to ask the hard questions of what is MOST important to us - the mission of Jesus, or the model of ministry. You can email us at info@healthychurchpodcast.com orTo find more information about The Healthy Church Podcast go to:http://www.healthychurchpodcast.comor find us on FaceBook!

HCP - Ep. 211 - South City 2.0On this podcast, Larry interviews co-host Drew Cline about what he’s calling South City 2.0. South City Church has been working towards a paradigm shift as a church where the focus of ministry was based around the Sunday service, and is now people belonging to smaller “CityGroup” families in the church. They gather twice a month in groups on Sundays for more relational connection (one-anothers) as well as more missional intentionality in their neighborhoods, and the rest of the Sundays is on campus as the entire congregation. Drew shares that the heart of the elders of South City is to see the church own their part of the great commission and do more than attend a service - instead to help equip partners to become disciple-makers. They have been renovating a new building as a ministry hub and full-time coffeeshop/cafe.For more information about South City, you can watch or listen to their sermon series called Paradigm Shift here:www.SouthCity.Org/sermonsYou can email us at info@healthychurchpodcast.com orTo find more information about The Healthy Church Podcast go to:http://www.healthychurchpodcast.comor find us on FaceBook!For a video of today’s podcast, you can find it on FaceBook or YouTube!

HCP 207 - **REPOST of The 4 G's of Gospel FluencyHCP - Ep. 151 - The 4 G’s of Gospel FluencyOn this episode Larry and Drew begin season 3 with a conversation around a gospel tool meant for personal use as much as to equip and bless others. This tool comes from Jeff Vanderstelt and his book Gospel Fluency. We each need to be reminded regularly that the Gospel of Jesus should be applied to every area of our lives. There are times where we feel anxious because we’re not in control or when we fear people and live from a place of codependency, when we look for satisfaction in sinfulness or start to believe the wrong things about why God loves us. This tool helps you remember to apply all aspects of the Gospel to your daily life and live from a place of centeredness in the finished work of the cross instead of what you think you bring “to the table”. For more info on Jeff Vanderstelt's book "Gospel Fluency"https://www.amazon.com/Gospel-Fluency-Jeff-Vanderstelt-audiobook/dp/B06VVGZ9BL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=10SZV2F8RSQ1M&keywords=gospel+fluency+jeff+vanderstelt&qid=1683317684&sprefix=Gospel+F%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-1You can email us at info@healthychurchpodcast.com orTo find more information about The Healthy Church Podcast go to:http://www.healthychurchpodcast.comor find us on FaceBook!
