Caveats, Coops, and Critiques

Mon, 16 Aug 2021 08:00:00 -0500

In this episode we begin to introduce a two part series about the four walls of a chicken coop. As we've talked about in our other episodes, a chicken coop is an organizational idealogy found in many places (including churches) that uses (unintentionally) means of control to keep people inside. In contrast to this is what we call "eagle living" which is a model of discipleship focused on individual autonomy, missional living, and replication. Today we'll give some caveats and critiques before moving into our next episode, where we'll name the four walls that keep us "cooped" up.

Whether you are a seasoned believer, just finding your faith, or discontent with the current reality of the church, there's something for you here. Join us as we seek to elevate our perspective, perceive the big picture, and identify kingdom cultures and practices.
