Our world desperately needs people who are marked by inner peace, who can carry the shalom of God. It's almost hard to remember somebody in your life who was a non-anxious presence. As we become the kinds of people whose deep rootedness in God in real time is on display, what could happen?
What if we actually focused on the interested? If we focused on the interested non-Christian and the interested Christian, then how would that affect the way that we strategize, preach, disciple and evangelize?
We have a tremendous opportunity to mobilize moms who are raising the next generation, who are talking about faith to their families and to their friends and in their community. It feels like this untapped potential is sitting in our pews, and when we mobilize them they will spark a movement.
"The church is to be a city that's set on a hill that cannot be hid. So when people see us, 'My, how they love one another,' I mean, real love, they're drawn by that."
The promise of Jesus is for this life and the life to come. There’s an opportunity that we have in this moment of spiritual openness that Jesus is well-regarded and well-liked and he seems to be beckoning people.
