Thank you for the mention! I have admired your work on Christianity Today, and did not know that you also have a Substack until now. It's very flattering to have an essay of mine recommended by you in this way. Thank you again.
I have seen the need for fellowship. I can get caught up in semantics so I want to be careful. I have heard the encouragement that we need to be the church all week long so that we have something of spiritual life to offer when we gather. In that context, I have heard it said that we don't "go to church", rather we are the church 24/7. I know you get that. I appreciated how you encouraged the hang ou time. The church I am with has grown and gone to 3 Sunday services. That is great but it seems some just come and go. Better than not at all. I think I have mentioned, they expanded the building and they did that for hang-out space, complete with a corner for lattes and mochas and light snacks. People will talk and you may see pray for one another. Appreciate your direct words.
