Question Zone Guest Questions
E1: Josh Taylor 1: do you think pastoral “burnout “ could be due to the way we do church? Western vs. Eastern ?
2: It’s human nature to give the burden to someone else how can we get the church to see ownership of their own issues and not just hand off ?
3: you mentioned #5 volunteer commitment .. do you think if that should be higher in importance creating a environment of discipleship and having others (deacons and seasoned saints) forming smaller groups to minister to the people of the church ( not replacing the pastor) but creating a Exodus 18 environment….? Question zone season 7 article questions
The Church from a Church
1: could some of this be solved or at least somewhat remedied by creating discipleship into scripture and not discipleship into denominations.?
2: can someone with local “church hurt “ find solace in the “big C church “ or should they seek local help either in singular person or small group?
3: in your article one big theme is understanding the difference between what our local church may be doing and what the “C” church was call to do what if we looked more to a “home church “ model as like what the young first century church. What would that do for people today?
Storytelling Stars
1: how important is it for us as believers to have an emotional connection along with a theological connection to the God of the Bible ?
2: astronomy is different than astrology so what did the ancients see as the difference compared to us in modern times? If any …? Restated question… Did the ancients understand a difference between the two or were they one in the same to them?
3: Why do we as humans have a second sense that there is a connection to a higher power by just observing the stars?
4: For our listeners where can they go to get information on the topic and even where equipment to examine stars can be found?
