Listened to the whole thing! I share in so many of your thoughts and prayers as I endeavor to follow Christ and shepherd His church. You hit the nail on the head when you said you stopped doing everything for it's own sake and just started listening to and responding to Jesus. I think that is a core essential to being a disciple and follower of Christ. I can totally hear your hearts and see that you are not forsaking the Church, just living it out as the Lord leads. Love you guys! Loved the podcast too!
Agreed. Have you explained what bad church looks like? (I’m assuming you mean the hamster wheel mentality) Maybe you have. It might clarify a little more about what you’re NOT trying to do. I think some churches model what you’re doing. I love listening and reading your posts. Your family is adorable. I’m hoping I see you someday on some sidewalk somewhere. I’m from New England also ♥️
Ouch- sitting in church and being comfortable at not being vulnerable and sharing and answering the “how are you” question truthfully. As a fellow 5, totally resonates.
Really enjoyed listening. We’ve moved overseas for ministry and it turned our view of church and how it works upside down for sure. Love hearing perspectives.
Thank you so much for this - I can’t wait to listen. And for sharing it even though it feels imperfect to you — grateful for the work that you both are doing, and that you’re willing to share your hearts.

Yes! Trusting the leading of Jesus was the most difficult part for us in all of this. Still is sometimes!
