Weaning Disciple Off Consumer Church

In this episode of The Unpolished Church, Jon Sherwood (https://www.jonsherwood.com) explores what it means to wean disciples off of consumer church culture. Drawing from his experience leading a micro church in Asheville, Jon unpacks how traditional church setups often encourage passivity—and how shifting into different environments, like living rooms, parks, and community spaces, can invite deeper participation and spiritual formation. From roundtable gatherings to catch mics and shared service projects, Jon challenges us to rethink what it really means to be the Church in the world today.[00:00] - Intro[00:23] - Can We Break Free from the Consumer Church?[03:13] - Changing the Environment to Change the Disciples[05:15] - Ask Yourself: Where Is Jesus Calling You to Give?[07:09] - OutroUNpolished Church podcast exists to help equip and resource Christians toward experiencing greater intimacy with one another, transformation into Christ, and impact for Jesus' redemptive mission in the world.
