The Church & The Gathering with Nika Spaulding

Elizabeth Woodson is joined by Nika Spaulding to discuss certain values or practices that characterized the church in Acts and the Epistles.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• Why do the people of God gather in community in the book of Acts?
• How was community designed to form the Christian?
• Are Christians the only ones who worship anything?
• How have you seen living and worshiping in community transform you?
• How would you encourage the person who says that they can live without community?
• How do the practices of worship and biblical community point us to the gospel? 

Guest Bio:

Nika Spaulding is a proud graduate of both the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor’s degree in zoology and Dallas Theological Seminary with a Master of Theology. God has given her the privilege of planting a church in Oak Cliff called St Jude Oak Cliff, and she loves her role as the Resident Theologian. When she’s not cheering on her Sooners, playing with her cat Clive, or enjoying a good meal with her friends, she’s probably sneaking off to Oklahoma to snuggle with her favorite humans, her nieces and nephew.

Reflection:

How has your spiritual community helped you know and love God more?
