Stories from the Revolution with John White

Richard and Carolyn went through Church 101 about seven or eight years ago. Their response was "this is a perfect fit for our ministry in Israel". Since then, they have completed Listed Facilitator Training and have led 10 Church 101 groups in Israel. To learn more about their ministry in Israel go here .

Did Paul have a training center?  Where was it?  What kind of training did he do there?  What impact did it have?  Why should a traditional church today consider becoming a training center?

Tony went through Church 101 six years ago and has never been the same. Currently, he has facilitated at least 15 Church 101 Groups and trained more than 100 people from all over the world. Here's his story.

Did you know that 70% of pastors report continually battling depression? What if that's the result of traditional churches trying to be something they were never meant to be?

Here's the second half of Jason's story. See #91 for part one.

This is episode is a first! In addition to my regular postings, I'm excited to begin to interview people who are living out the Relational Revolution. In this first interview, Jason Twombly tells his story.

How do you know if a church gathering meets Paul's standard of success? (Hint: it's not great worship or a great sermon.)

Thankful that Christ has provided specialized trainers to equip every church member to "build the house" ( oikodomeo )

What do we learn from Ephesians about God's plan for the church?

In 1 Cor 14:26, Paul tells us the purpose of a church meeting and something of how that is to happen. Most traditional churches have departed from this NT pattern. For training, go to LK10.com

In this episode, I'll begin to explain why a gathering with only one person contributing (as in preaching) doesn't qualify as NT church.

If Marvin Wilson ( Our Father Abraham ) was right that in Jewish teaching "the home is more important than the synagogue", what is the role of the synagogue? And, what does that tell us about the role of the traditional church today?

Jesus was Jewish. The disciples were all Jewish. The early church was Jewish (at least until around 70 AD). These facts are obvious but often overlooked when considering the practice of church . ("Scripture is our authoritative guide for faith and practice .") God is now in the process of rectifying this. Our Father Abraham: Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith by Marvin Wilson Want train...

The idea for house church didn't start with Jesus and the early church. It goes back to at least 586 BC. And, the main spiritual gathering in Jewish homes happened at the dinner table around a meal. Not in a special building where coffee wasn't allowed. John Piper is wrong about more than coffee. BTW... I think there is a place for larger gatherings as training centers. Let's just don&...

When I first began to learn about house church, I was frustrated because there was so little direction in the Bible about what a house church was and how it was done. Then, I found the answer and it made total sense.

Hundreds of new people are now coming to LK10 for training and community. For their benefit, this is the beginning of a series where I unpack what exactly the LK10 Community is. What is our Vision? What is our Mission? Are we more of a starfish or a spider type organization?

Kent and John unpack the idea that the five shifts that we talk about in our book are all expressions of God's love. His love is the unifying factor. The five shifts for ReDiscovering Church as a heart to heart connection: 1. Joy Fueled. 2. Jesus Led. 3. Communities of Practice. 4. Spiritual Mothers and Fathers. 5. Ecosystems of Grace.

In this episode, Kent Smith and I discuss nine aspects of Discipleship Movements.  Similarities and differences between LK10 and organizations like DMM and T4T.

Dr. Kent Smith and John White continue their conversation about Discipleship Movements.  In particular, they talk about a very different approach that LK10 has to making disciples.

The "He Gets Us" Campaigned has paid 20 million dollars for two commercials during the Super Bowl.  Why this man made marketing program is a hugely inferior substitute for God's very own two stage marketing program.  

Places where the Coach stopped me as I listen in on Church 101 Groups.

Dr. Kent Smith and John White dialogue about Discipleship Movements.  In particular, they talk about a very different approach that LK10 has to making disciples.

I celebrated my 75th birthday in September (2022) and I took four month off from this podcast.  I stepped back and reflected on where I am in life and what the Lord has for me in this next season.  With this episode, I'm back with this podcast and more excited than ever about sharing more stories and insights about the Relational Revolution that is under way.

In previous episodes, I've explained why I think this $100 million dollar Campaign will, sadly, fail.  No doubt, it is well intentioned but my contention is that it is fatally flawed.  In this episode, I shift gears and begin to share about an approach that really would work because it's worked before.  And, it's based on Jesus' strategy for reaching the lost.  

This is episode four in a series where we explain why we believe the “He Gets Us” Campaign will fail.  More than simply a critique of this particular campaign, these episodes explore fundamental flaws in how contemporary Christian culture approaches evangelism.
