021: Kingdom Contours: Organic Systems, Building Living Movements
In this episode of the 100Movements Podcast, Jeremy and Monica Chambers explore the concept of organic systems within the context of church growth and community building. Rather than relying on rigid human-made structures, they unpack what it means to trust the Spirit of God to guide adaptable, living systems that can multiply and thrive.
Drawing from both Scripture and lived experience, they discuss explosive growth in microchurch contexts, the tension between control and trust, and the importance of stewarding growth wisely. They also explore the role of leadership, the dangers of over-structuring, and practical tools for creating systems that are simple enough to reproduce but strong enough to sustain health.
If we want movements instead of monuments, we must learn to think living systems instead of static institutions.
“We have to stop thinking dead things and start thinking living things.”
