20 Sentences the CRC Needs to Start Talking About…
An old monk had 95 theses—today we bring 20. In this episode, Pastor Scott lays out a bold, practical roadmap for renewal in the Christian Reformed Church: a gospel-first identity, every believer a multiplier, leadership pipelines that start in local churches, and church planting as the ordinary way God renews His Church. We tackle the reality of decline—and why it’s not inevitable—and cast a hopeful vision for multiplying disciples, leaders, and churches in our time.

About this conversation
An old monk had 95 theses—today we bring 20. In this episode, Pastor Scott lays out a bold, practical roadmap for renewal in the Christian Reformed Church: a gospel-first identity, every believer a multiplier, leadership pipelines that start in local churches, and church planting as the ordinary way God renews His Church. We tackle the reality of decline—and why it’s not inevitable—and cast a hopeful vision for multiplying disciples, leaders, and churches in our time. What you’ll hear: - Why renewal begins with a fresh encounter with the gospel, not new tactics - How disciple-making reverses membership decline - Why leadership pipelines must start in local congregations (not agencies) - Church planting as the ordinary means of renewal - A call to become friends on mission and rally around a shared vision 🎟️ Want in?
