Okay, let’s get to it. Introductory Remarks In this episode, I compare the modern church's format with Scripture's teaching about what should be included in our worship gatherings. As I said in the previous episodes, the point of these reflections on our protestant Christian church spaces and format is not naked critique. It is to reassess what I feel we have uncritically allowed our worship spaces and gatherings to become. I hope this spirit comes through in the discussion. In this episode, as I was relaying a story about a small revival that I participated in as a twenty-year-old, my phone, on which I was recording, died. Please excuse the technical difficulty. I tried to transition back as best I could. I’d love to hear your thoughts about church format! Do you think we’ve drifted from how church gatherings should be conducted? Are we underutilizing the congregation regarding who can contribute to teaching, prophetic words, and music on Sundays?
