Imaginatively Missional
On this Ephesiology Podcast, Andrew and Michael are joined by Jeff Christopherson, again. Jeff updates us on the reception of his book, Once You See: Seven Temptations of the Western Church. He gives us more of the context and birth of the book which came out of his interactions with 1600 churches during COVID. To his surprise, 91 percent of those churches returned to what they considered to be normal, Sunday centric, pastor led status quo as quickly as they could.
If you have a question or topic that you’d like to hear addressed on the Ephesiology Podcast, just send it to Andrew at andrewjohnson@neartownchurch.org.

Celebrate the “First” Anniversary of Ephesiology
Ephesiology: A Study of the Ephesian Movement
If you want to understand principles for the growth of Christianity in the first century, the place to begin is the city of Ephesus. In this winsome study, Ephesiology offers readers a comprehensive view of the empowering work of the Holy Spirit in the most significant city of the New Testament, and compels us to ask the question: how can we effectively connect Christ to our culture?
“Masterfully handling the book of Ephesians and using its content as a definitive guide, Michael Cooper lays a theologically strong foundation that is both corrective and directive to disciple making movements. The principles he gleans from the book of Ephesians and related texts, help to ensure the on-going multiplication and maturation of a movement. Because these are supra-cultural principles, they are applicable anywhere in the world.”
Marvin J. Newell, Staff Missiologist, Missio Nexus, Author of Crossing Cultures in Scripture
