Awakening With Glenn Bleakney

What does "church" really mean? Join us as we explore the revolutionary concept of "ekklesia" - not as a building with stained glass or a Sunday service, but as the vibrant, mission-driven community it was always meant to be.In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the true meaning of ekklesia, examining its origins in Greek civic life and its radical transformation in the New Testament. Discover how early Christians deliberately chose this "secular" term with profound civic implications, signaling that they saw themselves as more than just a religious group, but as an alternative community with kingdom purposes.We unpack how ekklesia:Functions as a living organism rather than an institutionCalls believers to active citizenship in God's kingdomCreates an ethic where members seek the common goodRequires participation rather than passive consumptionChallenges our modern building-centric, program-driven understandingReady to go deeper? Become a subscriber of the Kingdom Reformation community at&n
