Summary: Gene Edwards is an enigmatic personality and a polarizing figure. No one has done more to encourage people think outside the box of institutionalized Christianity and see the Bride of Christ as Jesus is giving her shape in the world than Gene Edwards. And yet his model for replicating that church has been controversial and for some, painful. Wayne had the opportunity last month to sit down with Gene to share their mutual passion and the differences in how they see God working in the world. Brad and Wayne process that conversation and why trying to replicate his church by teaching people to follow a model, no matter how well constructed, is problematic at best. As a side note Brad and Wayne reflect on the imperfect vessels we all are, and how to celebrate God's work in a life, even when we recognize their flaws.<br> Podcast Notes:<br><br> <a href="http://www.geneedwards.com/books.shtml">More information on Gene Edwards</a><br><br> <a href="https://www.lifestream.org/product/beyond-sundays/">Beyond Sundays Is Now Available</a><br><br> <a href="http://www.thegodjourney.com/archive-rss-feeds/">RSS Feeds for The God Journey</a><br><br> <a href="https://www.lifestream.org/connect/travel-events/">Wayne's Travel Schedule in early 2018</a><br><br> <a href="https://www.lifestream.org/kenya-expanding-irrigation-new-village/">The latest news from our project in Kenya</a><br><br> Add your voice to our question/comment line via Skype at "TheGodJourney"<br>
