The House That Jesus Built
David C Cook, 2024
By Natalie Runion
WHO: Natalie Runion, the creator of the Raise to Stay Community.
SHE SAYS: “We have everything we need in the Word of God to rebuild our churches on a foundation that is unshakable, immovable and unwavering in our faith.”
THE BIG IDEA: An encouragement to take heart as we rebuild the church to reflect God’s design.
THE PROGRESSION: Over 12 chapters, the author shows readers how to engage church communities while acknowledging past hurt; reflect on how Christians have contributed to pain experienced in church; use the book of Acts as the blueprint for empowering the family of God to be the family of God; and understand how the apostles wrestled with their role in the church but remained committed.
“God is scooping up the destroyed, broken pieces of our faulty foundation that has crumbled beneath us and he’s going to do something beautiful with it.”
