Lightning Round

Is there a plan as to when we will discontinue offering online streaming services to encourage people to gather again? (6:50)

I've been reading Jonathan Leeman's newish book "One Assembly" and was wondering if you had a biblical conviction regarding multi-site/multi-service institutions being considered one church or multiple churches. Jonathan seems to argue that the concept of assembly is critical to the biblical understanding of a local church and that just because separate assemblies are tied together by leadership and branding does not mean they are the same church from a biblical perspective. However, in a passing remark at the beginning of the last podcast (3/16 - 16:30)  Pastor Josh seemed to be speaking in support of the multi-campus-Christian because of the well-rounded experiences that this type of Christian may have. Does Gateway see its multiple campuses biblically described as multiple churches with shared eldership or one church with discrete assemblies? Or maybe a third option? More practically, should a Gateway member gather with different campuses throughout the year to stay connected with the whole body since they're all the same church, or should he/she stay committed to one campus?
