This guy was very interesting to me both as a pastor and a person. He was very enthusiastic and sold out to his perspective on the church and how it functioned, or at least should function. It was so interesting to hear him pour out his heart on it. I really think there is a lot of potential when it comes to his style of church and I think that it could allow a lot of Growth and a lot of community. I am always interested in small group movements, because that is how the early church started.
I worry about though that it could run dry or become stagnant. If it is in constant connection to God then yes it should work, but it is made up of people and what happens when they drop the ball or when someone comes unprepared. Maybe I am thinking from a skewed perspective, but that is something that I wonder. That may just be the fact that I have grown up in a denominational mindset and it also may be because it is new to me, but where are the checks and balances? I love small groups and I love their ministry, but sometimes I wonder what happens if one goes off course and has nobody to help them find the tracks again?
