The Great Unifier with Matt Thistle

Every church is naturally divided, but Scripture calls us to be unified. In this episode of Oikos Stories, Matt Thistle explains why he calls the Oikos Principle "the great unifier.” Part of the power of the Oikos Principle is that it doesn’t require decades of experience or high levels of theological training. Instead, the Oikos Principle helps you see the relationships around you as God does. It’s that simplicity that closes the gap between the 30-year veteran of faith and the believer baptized last month. Both are equally equipped, and equally called.In this episode:- Why oikos closes the gap between new believers and lifelong Christians- How simplicity, not depth, became the thing that unified Matt's congregation- The surprising biblical case for oikos going back to Genesis- Stories about how oikos is producing fruitKey quote: "This is the great unifier of the church.
