Millions of Christians are walking away from megachurches and gathering in living rooms instead. But is that actually solving anything?
In this video, we look at what the explosive growth of house churches in China, India, and Iran reveals about the real issue — and why simply copying their container without paying their cost doesn’t work.
We trace the original meaning of the Greek word ekklesia and why the biblical text places zero constraints on the size or shape of the room. Then we name the actual disease: religious consumerism — and show why it travels just fine from a cathedral to a coffee table.
The real question isn’t institutional vs. non-institutional. It’s consumer culture vs. apostolic culture.
We close with Glenn Bleakney’s five marks of an apostolic community — a diagnostic tool for evaluating any community’s health regardless of its size or structure — and the constellation model that brings large resource hubs and intimate household cells together under the same outward-focused DNA.
We don’t need to move the furniture. We need to transform the culture.
