"Josh,
So many of us have been through that wilderness when coming out of the IC. It seems to be a time of shedding theology, indoctrination and the resulting "filter" through which we have measured ourselves and even our…"

Catherine Seebald commented on Kenny Russell's blog post Hierarchical submission is an invention of the Roman/Pagan system"For years my husband and I were in a church that was a part of the discipleship/shepherding movement, which strongly advocated the idea of a "covering." But after we left that church, the Lord began to speak to us and help us…"
Catherine Seebald commented on Kenny Russell's blog post My Story By Jonna Petry Spiritual Abuse"Like others, my husband and I also had a similar experience on a smaller scale for almost 10 years under two different pastors in the same congregation. The first pastor fell into adultery and was forced out, then the 2nd pastor came,…"
Catherine Seebald replied to Joshua Westcott's discussion Challenges of the Small Town"You're so right, Darrell! Many of the house churches I'm familiar with are not organic expressions of church but are really just institutional church in miniature. As Frank Viola says, organic church (OC) is one of the most…"
Catherine Seebald replied to Joshua Westcott's discussion Challenges of the Small Town"Sorry I missed your IM, Joshua. I'd forgotten that I'd left that window open and had taken my dogs to the vet. :-) Glad the Lord used my reply to encourage.

Catherine Seebald replied to Joshua Westcott's discussion Challenges of the Small Town"Hi Josh,
I'm in a rural/small town area of southwestern NY state and was at a complete loss of what to do when I left the institutional church (IC) I was attending about 1 1/2 yrs. ago. The IC in general troubled me for many reasons,…"
Leah Randall left a comment for Catherine Seebald"Hi Catherine, nice to meet you! I'm not actually part of an organic church right now, but the little church my husband and I are part of with our fourteen year old son is as close to it as a denominational church will ever get, I think.…"

- Hi Catherine, nice to meet you! I'm not actually part of an organic church right now, but the little church my husband and I are part of with our fourteen year old son is as close to it as a denominational church will ever get, I think. The fruit is there--especially love, and we lead a 9-month small-group Bible study that is wrapping up on May 19. However, we are receiving a "call" from the Lord toward organic church. We are waiting for Him to guide us and He is, day by day. It may mean we have organic church and still worship where we are on Sunday mornings for quite some time because our son really needs the friends he has there. And we dearly love our brothers and sisters at Abundant Life. I started a youth "sharing group" that met in homes 40 years ago when I was 15 that was the very picture of organic church! The Lord met us there every week! More than 60 kids came and went through that group, but once we all started leaving for college it died out a year or two later. Many of those kids are in full-time ministry now. I can't wait to learn more about your meetings and your brothers and sisters! Post pictures soon!

Jo Lynne Deaver left a comment for Loretta Rodrigues"Loretta,
Thanks for sharing. I have been a Christian since 1985. I guess that would be 27 years. About a year and a half ago I started questioning why I believed some of things I had been taught. In the last 6 months or so I also have read…"
Jonathon Baer replied to Jo Lynne Deaver's discussion Don't Limit Opportunities"I had hoped what I said made sense. Sometimes I don't articulate what I'm trying to communicate. Nothing is to be construed as to limit what the Holy Spirit can and will do since he is like the wind. It is not for us to always understand…"
Loretta Rodrigues left a comment for Jo Lynne Deaver"Hi Jo Lynne, Thanks for your warm welcome. I've been a Christian ( I was raised a catholic ) for the last 7-8 years and attended a NT (Pastor led) church for about a year. My husband is an unbeliever and rabidly so! He…"

Maegan Verrett left a comment for Jo Lynne Deaver"Thanks for your comment, Jo Lynne! I'm hoping to find some others like myself here in NE. It's quite lonely being the only one around. I've got my parents, but it's just not the same. You know? Thanks again! Have a great…"

Jo Lynne Deaver replied to Jo Lynne Deaver's discussion Don't Limit Opportunities"Jonathon,
Thanks for your reply. You are an encouraging and confirming voice. What you said was very much needed. I too had been told in the past that a person could be "so heavenly minded you're no earthly good.' But that…"
Jonathon Baer replied to Jo Lynne Deaver's discussion Don't Limit Opportunities"To address your first paragraph: I, too, have been somewhat dismayed to see very little activity and interaction with this excellent medium. Kenny put a lot into this and it is a shame it isn't maximized.
Second paragraph: Simply: Be ready,…"
