We continue a previous conversation about being co-workers with Jesus. This time we look at Matthew 9 and 10 and at the work of Jesus and how Jesus is inviting us to work with him. 

Today we share four responses to DMM by legacy churches this week. How will we embrace change to see the gospel flourish in natural networks where we live, learn, work, and play?

To keep the system of church running is laborious. How can we have the time to consider a different way even if we think a different way is a good idea. Here in Northern Colorado the church continues to decline in numbers, but the way of being the church is not really changing much to see change in the trends. What do we do? What can we do, or better yet…what must be done?

1 Corinthians 3:9 says we are co-workers with Christ. What does this mean for us today? What work is Jesus doing that he is inviting us into being a co-worker with him? In this episode we explore how often we seem to be doing work that is adjacent to the work of Jesus, but maybe the work of Jesus is more clear and simple than our work. If we are co-workers, then let's do the work Jesus is doing.

We're back with a DMM Download focused on church being a system or ecosystem. Systems are built and ordered while ecosystems are organic, messy, flexible. They are more like a garden than a machine. Church in America seems to build church system rather than nurturing God’s church ecosystem. This is part 2 of the mini series. 

Today we discuss more about the System and the Ecosystem and specifically how ritual replaced relationship in our churches. We discuss how the machine of church is interfering with the work of God through relationships in church, and how church in Northern Colorado could use more relationships to support growth rather than more machine to produce growth. 

In this episode we continue to discuss the System and the Ecosystem. What Jesus said seems to have been misheard in these days later. There is more to being the church than some of us have experienced. Can we expect a new thing here in North America? Will you pray for it? 

The destination is the redemption of all people…the way to get there is diverse. So each of us at the start of the year can refocus on the vision of Jesus…to seek and save the lost, and we can ask God to show each of us what route we’re supposed to take to get there.

Happy New Year! Happy 2026! We are back and starting the new year off and a new season of DMM Downloads with a conversation that we hear often from church leaders. Will it work here?
