Journey NOW

Our most recent Sunday conversation spurred a listener to ask what it looks like to spread the Gospel in a loving and authentic way. How do we avoid street-corner-megaphone obnoxiousness? If we avoid that, does that mean we're passive? Suzie Lind, Kevin Dixon and Tim Timmons have a word for it, and the word is love.

This week, we're examining Jesus' examples of creative resistance--turning the other cheek, going the extra mile and giving your enemy the shirt AND cloak off your back. As Mike Erre taught on Sunday, these aren't passive responses but rather ways of resisting without resorting to violence. Regulars Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons join Mike to slap this insight around.

In her wrap-up to our “Social Distortion” series, Suzie Lind wondered about being Spirit led. We know about the early Christians described in Acts and more recent movements like the Azusa Street Revival and the Jesus People Movement. Could events like that ever happen in today’s world?
