Church was God's big idea. The healthier it is, the better it (and every person in it) will fulfill God's purpose in the world.
Mike Fleming and Barb Kjos have devoted their lives to the study and practice of the life of the church. This bi-weekly 30-minute conversational podcast will help every Christian, from those who don't participate to the highly influential, better understand what makes a church healthy so they can better function as the Body of Christ.
If you're frustrated with your church experiences or simply want to live out God's big idea well, join them as they pursue finding healthy church together.
Ep. 31 - How Healthy Church Leadership Guides Decision-Making
One of the more difficult chapters in Paul's letters is a crucial moment of leadership, and his example gives great insight into leadership in the Kingdom of God. Join Mike and Barb as they take a look at Paul's example of standing on the foundational Christian principle of a shift in responsibility for life guidance and discernment in a church from special people or classes of poeple to the Spirit of God through all members of Christ's Body.

Ep. 30 - What Jesus Thinks About Using Honorific Titles
Jesus says something to his disciples regarding authority that seems like it's largely ignored in churches today - that no one in the new community he's creating will call each other by honorific titles because all authority will be in The Way, The Truth and The Life. Join Mike and Barb as they discuss how the practice of using honorific titles affects relationships and how Jesus reshaped the language his disciples used to address each other.

Ep. 29 - Where Authority Resides in a Healthy Church (and Home)
There are two major erroneous teachings about authority that people claim are in the Bible - that pastors and/or elders have authority over churches and that husbands have authority over wives. Join Mike and Barb as they look at a general picture of authority in the New Testament, discussing words and examples in the biblical story that bring light to the topic.
