Episode 287: Dr. James White makes digital and physical church simple
For this episode of Simple Faith, pull up a chair with Dr. James Emery White. He's the visionary behind the successful church plant, Mecklenburg Community Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. His tale of starting a church without any people, money, or a building is inspiring. We get the chance to talk about two of his passions - theology and culture. Hear him break down how this blend helped shape the trajectory of his church and filled the gap between academia and church planning.
That passion gives us a glimpse into his innovative approach to church leadership. And that's clear as we look at what community looks like in the digital age, drawing parallels between Martin Luther's use of the printing press and today's digital platforms like Twitch and TikTok. This was such a great conversation you won't want to miss.
