What type of family are you building? Did you even know there were different family models? In the Western world, we've been duped into believing that the model we all know and grew up in is normal...but it's actually a new experiment over the past couple hundred years. And if we look around, how well is it working? This talk by Mark and Michelle Tiderman, part of our Housecraft series of events, dives into the ancient family model outlined in the Bible and pretty much every other historical society up until recently. You'll learn how to see family as a multigenerational team on mission.

When we talk about church gatherings, we often fall into one of two extremes: 1. Super libertarian 2. Super controlled Both ends of the spectrum have value in the right context, but what happens when we go outside the box and stop turning one dial to 100% and the other to 0%? That's what Art Thomas us understand today, as he shares how his organization has built a local house church network...and why they took the unusual step of officially organizing it instead of leaving it cranked to 100% "freedom". Jeremy and Art discuss thinking outside the box, how to decide if you should officially organize, how to disciple people within a house church setting, and how to build engaged groups (since most people are used to passive worship services). In this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 2:37 From unconventional church plants to thriving house church network 15:11 How freedom to think outside the box encourages disciple-making 25:32 Should your house church group officially organize? 32:28 House church network governing structure 38:14 Defining discipleship 47:23 How to activate people's gifts after (potentially) decades of passivity in worship services Mentioned: Art's Website: https://www.artthomas.org/ Roots Church Website: https://www.rootsag.org/ Gospel Houses: How Everyday Christians can Make Disciples At Home by Art Thomas: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1959547011/ The Heavenly Man: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0825446775/ Letters To The Church by Francis Chan: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0830776583/ Revolution by George Barna: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0096VZ85G/ Family on Mission by Mike Breen: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0999898108/ --- 🏠 LEARN HOW TO MAKE DISCIPLES FOR JESUS, IN AND THROUGH YOUR HOME: 1kh.org --- Hi, welcome to the 1000 Houses Podcast!
