Connecting Like Jesus

Connecting Like JesusConnecting Like Jesus:
Practices for Healing, Teaching and Preaching
By Tony Campolo and Mary Albert Darling (Jossey-Bass, 2010)

“Jesus’ styles of relating flowed out of being totally committed to living for the glory of God. Through seamlessly connecting His relationship with God and His knowledge of Scripture to His daily life, Jesus dynamically connected with others. He knew that times of prayer and reflecting on Scripture were essential to knowing God more intimately and being spiritually prepared and empowered to connect with others in ways that would best advance God’s kingdom. And He counted on His followers to follow in his footsteps.” –Tony Campolo and Mary Albert Darling, from the book

Ed Stetzer: Coming Back

We have to take a step back as we teach God’s Word, building upon the grand narrative of redemption to show how every issue dealt with in the story of God is centered in Christ.

Tanita Maddox: Showing Up for Gen Z

There are just so many things that are compelling about the triune God and the way that triune God has enacted redemption for us and continues to sanctify us after we follow him. We just have to pull the contextualization out for our young people so they can see it on their terms.

Created for Relationships

There’s something about community—the relationships, the sense of belonging, the support and encouragement, the sympathy and understanding—that deepens our lives and anchors our souls.
