Jared sits down with Jason Shepperd, founder of Church Project, to talk about flipping the church model upside down—in the best way. Jason shares how years of global travel and deep study of Scripture led him to launch a “church of house churches” that puts community, discipleship, and lay leadership front and center. They dig into why he walked away from the traditional church setup, the pushback he’s gotten, and what it looks like when church actually starts to look like the early church. If you’ve ever felt like the modern church is missing something—or wondered how church could be done differently—this episode will challenge and inspire you.
