Rend Collective's living-room worship and the local church

Ben describes watching Rend Collective's socially distant worship club, four people singing in a living room streamed from phones, and finding it easy to join in because it felt participatory rather than produced. He argues mid-grade production creates an awkward middle where people cannot tell whether to participate or observe. He closes with an extended reflection on the irreplaceable local church: millions teach better than his pastors, but it matters that Dan said it, studied it, and cares for his people.
