Tyler Johnson of Redemption Church and one of the founders of the Surge Network talks about discipleship – how we change as we try to do the things Jesus told us to do. Tyler shares several stories as he addresses the question, “What does it mean to be the church?” and adds, “Always meet needs in proximity, and when the need surpasses the proximity, go to a wider network of relationships.” Tyler gives an example how several churches, together, have helped meet broader needs in the community.
