There are many things that are currently impacting churches and their finances (pandemic, unemployment, lack of meeting, etc.) Does the way in which we have chosen to build have a positive or negative impact?

Transcribe →The Church's Money
Jan 14, 202100:53:50Tap to summarizeWelcome to 2021! The ATI crew is back, and coming with another new episode. This week the crew discuss the concept of how COVID-19 has affected the “church’s money“. How has the pandemic impacted local churches in terms of how they meet, their finances, etc. With things like continuing to drag on (quarantine, etc) when is it time for us to pivot in the way we practice our gatherings. Are the times to come the new normal and we should no longer look back to what was as ‘normal’. They also get into the idea of ‘christian careers’ and how that has been impacted by the current situation. Is it important for believers to have more that 1 skill set or stream of income? And in being stubborn and unchanging in our understanding are we in a place of worshiping our culture?As always you can check out everything we do at http://divemedia.comPlease consider supporting what we do http://patreon.com/divemedia1

Transcribe →Narratives pt 2
Dec 7, 202001:00:43Tap to summarizeIn this episode the crew continue to discuss narratives. Beyond just being stories, one of the definitions of the word narrative is a “way of presenting a situation of series of events that reflects and promotes a particular point of view or set of values”. Much of what many people believe when challenged may be found to be based on a well crafted narrative as opposed to being based on actual truth. Whether spiritual, political, educational there are certain lines of thought that should be investigated as to where they came from. This requires us to be willing to go beyond the surface of matters and not accept everything being ‘fed’ to us wholesale.Sit back this episode gets a little spicy, but don't worry we're fine...Please consider supporting what we do - http://patreon.com/divemedia1Check out the rest of what Dive Media is doing - http://divemedia.co
