Tribes: A Too Often Missing Layer in Movements

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of tribes in movements, emphasizing their role in reinforcing identity and facilitating the spread of the gospel.

Most movements stall because they skip the tribe. We talk about personal faith and global mission. Private devotion and citywide impact. But the layer in between, the tribe, is where movements actually take root. Tribes are networks of households living the same way, reinforcing shared identity, and making obedience normal instead of exceptional. In this episode, we unpack the sociology and biblical pattern behind lasting movements. Jesus formed a tribe in the twelve. The early church met house to house as interconnected networks. From those tribes, identity was strengthened and the gospel spread across entire cities and regions. If you want traction, you make space for tribe.
