Needed, A New Way to Meet Part 4: On Having Meetings
What if the traditional church meeting as we know it is actually stifling the very life it seeks to celebrate? Gene Edwards invites us into a revolutionary way of gathering that prioritises the organic overflow of Christ within a community over dead rituals. He challenges us to stop meeting just to “get” and instead learn how to touch the living Lord through intentional preparation and shared daily life. By moving away from human headship and toward the true “motor” of Jesus Christ, believers can rediscover a church life that springs naturally from the soil of genuine intimacy. Gene Edwards urges us to break free from institutional habits and embrace a simple, honest devotion where every member truly has something of the Lord to share.
