He said everyone serves in ministry for free. I would really love to know how he makes it financially. The Bay Area is the most expensive place to live in the nation. Maybe he explains it in his book (i didn't see it in the article).
As for house churches, maybe they work for some, but in my experience, everyone I know that has left the traditional church for house church has eventually stopped going at all. It seemed to have been a stepping stone to total independence. Most of them got burned out, disillusioned or hurt and I think a few of the ones I know personally didn't want to give of their time and finances.
Persecution would necessitate house churches but I don't think we are quite there yet
