Synopsis

At a time when churches seem far from God’s design, bestselling author Natalie Runion challenges us as Christians to follow the Bible’s blueprint for building holy, healthy churches that disciple holy, healthy followers of Christ. In recent years, we’ve seen the “great resignation” in Church leadership and attendance, the devastation of spiritual abuse, and the breakdown of faith within our culture. In The House That Jesus Built, Natalie encourages all of us to recognize our role as Jesus’ disciples in rebuilding our churches, brick by brick. With personal stories and practical ideas, she guides us to: Be honest about past disappointments while still engaging with our church communities Ask how we as Christ followers have contributed to pain in our churches and how we can help heal one another Use the book of Acts as the blueprint for empowering the family of God to be the family of God Understand how even the apostles wrestled with their places in the early Church but remained committed to love God, love people, and make disciples Be unified on the foundation of Jesus Christ The House That Jesus Built will stir your heart to see God’s churches realigned with the Great Commission and the Great Command. As Natalie reminds us, we are the Church. We are the ones who can partner with Jesus to build something beautiful out of the rubble—and back on the Rock.

Wow! This book was both convicting and comforting. A reminder again that we as people are so incredibly flawed, even those in church leadership, but God can still use us and wants to use us in His plan for the modern church.......more

Goodreads review by Cassie on August 19, 2024

3.5 stars rounded down. I wanted to love this, and there were moments I did. There were passages I annotated with a star or heart next to it, but I also found myself asking questions in the margins. My main questions had to do with audience. I found myself wondering if this was intended for those hur......more

I’ll be working on a full review for my blog, but here are my “just finished reading” thoughts. I’ve been following Natalie’s IG account for a while now. And while I’ve seen some encouraging content, I’ll admit that I’ve also side-eyed quite a bit of her content and much of her reactions when people......more

Natalie has done it once again! Writing truths that needed to be safe and giving tools to carry out the challenge given to us in this book. The picture above is pretty much what my copy looks like, practically every page is highlighted, it’s that good! The first 5 chapters like she said are hard to s......more
