Beginning the House Church Journey

<p>Whether you’re looking to start your own house church or join an existing one, we share our take on what the most important elements of each look like. Individual house churches vary widely in how structured or unstructured their “onboarding” processes are, but they share a common thread of open conversations about concerns, beliefs, expectations, and commitment from the very beginning. Similarly, starting a new house church often begins with some of those same relationally focused conversations, just on a different scale (and, as Luke and Collin clarify, NOT by poaching Christians from other churches). Check out the episode for deeper conversation on what we’ve seen set up new house churches and new relationships within house churches for the most success.<br /></p><p>If you have questions about this episode or requests for a future episode, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at <a href="http://whyhousechurch.com/contact" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠whyhousechurch.com/contact⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Intro/Outro music: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/7mlKzafFBGEckoMmVVSuWw?si=7920d22ebda54b2f" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Too Close-Instrumental Version by Peter Spacey and Danny Feels</a></p>

Communion

<p>In this brief episode, we talk about communion and what that can look like in a house church, whether that’s a full meal or simply bread and wine. More importantly, we talk about what it means to remember the sacrifice of Christ, the forgiveness of our sins, and our joyful reconciliation with God. We also share about the equalizing nature of the communion table when we have a shared meal as the royal priesthood. For more about that, check out our article “A Glimpse into Gatherings: Approaching Fellowship, Communion, Partnership, and Edification” on <a href="https://www.whyhousechurch.com/post/a-glimpse-into-gatherings-approaching-fellowship-communion-partnership-and-edification" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">WhyHouseChurch.com</a></p><p>If you have questions about this episode or requests for a future episode, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at <a href="http://whyhousechurch.com/contact" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠whyhousechurch.com/contact⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>Intro/Outro music: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/7mlKzafFBGEckoMmVVSuWw?si=7920d22ebda54b2f" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Too Close-Instrumental Version by Peter Spacey and Danny Feels </a></p>

House Church: Fad or Return to New Testament?

<p>In this episode, we talk about what factors might be behind the growth of the house church scene in modern times. Why are so many Christians moving towards more intimate faith communities in the 21st century? Is it just part of a fad to “fight the system,” another season of revivalism that will fall away? Or is it an instinctive return to the biblical ways of the earliest church? (Spoiler alert: we think both of those views are unfair). Join us in unpacking the complexity of modern revivalism, declining trust in institutions, and the impact of the “Age of Information” for Christians today. </p> <p>If you have questions about this episode or requests for a future episode, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at <a href="http://whyhousechurch.com/contact" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠whyhousechurch.com/contact⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p><br /></p> <p>Intro/Outro music: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/7mlKzafFBGEckoMmVVSuWw?si=7920d22ebda54b2f" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Too Close-Instrumental Version by Peter Spacey and Danny Feels </a></p>
