Life on the "Real Side"

Religion & Spirituality


ATTENTION - this sermon will start off crazy in the beginning. We promise it will make sense after the first few minutes. :) Dan Pallotta is probably best known as having one of the most widely listened to TED Talk ever titled, “The way we think about charity is dead wrong." It’s a provocative and challenging push to re-envision and re-engage how nonprofit organizations think about how they can truly impact the world.  He begins his talk with the statement, “I want to ask if we even believe that the nonprofit sector has any serious role to play in changing the world.” Today, in that same spirit we ask the question, "Do WE even believe that the church has any real role in changing the world?" In this message we call out: The way we’ve been thinking about fear is dead wrong. Let us see fear, let us walk through fear, but let fear move us and not immobilize us. The way we’ve been thinking about “sanctuary” is dead wrong! Churches should only be sanctuary for people - NOT for ideas, thoughts, innovations, and risk-taking. The way we’ve been thinking about prayer is dead wrong!  Do we truly pray powerful prayers and walk in the charge that Christ gave: "Greater things will you do in my name?"  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
