About this conversation
The CRC's annual Synod just made what might be its biggest call to action in years — 150 new churches in 10 years. We watched it live and reacted in real time. In this episode of the Disciple Standard Podcast (our first ever livestream!), we break down: → What Zach King actually said on the floor of Synod — and what it meant → Tim Sheridan's plan for turning the denomination around → Why "let's pray about it" keeps frustrating us (and why that's also unfair) → The difference between mercy ministry and gospel ministry → What the first real moves need to be if this is going to gain traction → Why 70+ churches have closed in 4 years — and what that urgency really means We've been talking about the CRC's decline for years on this podcast. This week, something actually happened.
