Welcome to this episode of Real Christianity. My name is Dale Partridge.

Each week I offer 15-20 minute answers to tough theological and pastoral questions.

This is a 100% listener supported audio ministry of relearn.org.

And for those who don't know, our mission at relearn.org is to educate and equip ordinary Christians

to plant biblical, confessional, and mission house churches.

For more information, just visit relearn.org-forthslash-house.

A question for you guys. Do you ever want to be a fruitful and biblical member of your church?

Is that a desire?

Have you ever wondered what type of Christians build up a local church and what type tear it down?

Better yet, are you one of these people who might be tearing down the church but you just don't know it?

These are important questions and we're going to be discussing this and more.

But before we begin, I just wanted to make one quick announcement.

Our ministry has been sustained now for three years because of your generous donations.

I can't tell you how many people have just stepped up and really blessed our ministry financially

by supporting the work we do, even people that are just giving $5 a month.

We're coming up to the close of the 2020 year and we've met every financial need so far this year.

But we're still short on meeting the budget.

The 2020 budget required to fulfill our ministry objectives for the remainder of the year.

Additionally, we're actually praying heavily for 2021.

We believe it'll be a big year for our ministry.

We're planning, as we mentioned before, to film a documentary on House Church

to establish our first group of House Church planters through our companion ministry, St. Justin's.org.
