How Big Is Your View of Worship? with Tim Challlies

I grew up with attendance in a wide smattering of church denominations. It got to the point where my parents, when someone asked what denomination they identified with they would say they were "Bapa-Lutha-Terian."

Even now my favorite thing is over the summer, we have a break from some of our church responsibilities, and we often choose to visit the churches of our friends around the city. It has reminded me the body of Christ isn't all eyeballs. Each cluster of believers comes to faith with unique language and strengths that encourage me as I spend time with them.

Tim Challies is a pastor and author and has spent a huge chunk of time not just visiting churches in his city, but churches around the world. I can't wait to hear what he's learned from his experiences.

Did you grow up with a solid home church or a varied church background?

Do you have any early moments that you remember being impacted by the faith of other believers?

What inspired you to start traveling to churches around the world?

What have you learned from some of those experiences? What do we risk if we only look at Christianity through an Americanized lens?

How does exposing ourselves to the global church strengthen believers as a whole?

Why is it good for our families?
