Why Would Anyone Go to Church? A Young Community’s Quest to Reclaim Church for Good
(Baker, 2020)

WHO: Kevin Makins, founding pastor of Eucharist Church in Ontario, Canada.

HE SAYS: “There are deeper truths that need to be uncovered if this next generation is going to reclaim church for good.”

THE BIG IDEA: This book takes a look at why church matters and how the author started a church for people who feel disenfranchised from religion.

THE PROGRESSION:
Each chapter explores a deep truth that the author has learned about church while sharing the author’s journey.

“The Jesus followers I know aren’t sticking with the church because church is better than a concert or more interesting than a podcast. They’re staying because there are primordial elements of Christian community that are far more rooted than all that superficial fluff.”

Pastors Are Shepherds, Not Superheroes

Maybe it’s time we change the narrative. Expect your pastor to be a shepherd, not a superhero. Don’t demand their presence at every event or their attention at every moment.
