What is God doing when the church gathers? Does something happen beyond the "show" that we see? Is there something you can get from your local congregation that you can't get from watching someone else's service on Youtube? In this episode we meet John Mark Hicks, professor of theology, author, and one of the keynote speakers at this year's convention, who introduces to the "Sacrament of the Assembly"--the idea that God is present and active in the congregation, that there is value in our worship services beyond the production value and the attendance numbers.
