About this conversation

What does it actually mean to be CRC? Is it our theology? Our history? Our worship style? Our mission? And if the Christian Reformed Church is going to reverse decline and rediscover its calling, where does our true identity begin? In this week’s episode, Aaron sits down with Pastor Scott and Pastor Jary for a candid, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about the core identity of the CRC. They explore: - Why the CRC may be more “Great Commission” than anyone realizes - The tension between denominational heritage and local church expression - Whether worship style is part of our identity or just a cultural expression - What makes CRC education and discipleship unique - How gospel identity (not outcomes) should shape the future of our churches Whether you're CRC, PCA, non-denominational, or just curious about denominational identity, this episode gives a thoughtful (and humorous) look at who we are and who we’re becoming.
