Francis' Radical Surrender To Follow Jesus
- Chip Ingram tells the story of Frank (St. Francis) who left wealth to follow Jesus and wrote the prayer "Lord, make me an instrument of your peace."
- Francis' radical choice to die to possessions spawned a movement that served the poor and influenced millions for centuries.
Freedom's Cost Is The Fall
- Chip explains the world's brokenness as the consequence of human freedom turned inward: the Fall where people chose "God, I don't want you."
- That rebellion fractured relationships, self, and creation, producing universal suffering and decay.
