The church is uniquely positioned by God to equip its people to engage culture. The challenge is in knowing how, when, where, and if to engage. To remain silent about the cultural climate isn't an option, but how do we navigate this tension? The good news is that the church has navigated this road before, and God is eager to help the church navigate this road now.

David is held up in the Old Testament as the model king, and the long-awaited Messiah is often called the “son of David.” Yet, David seems to come up short as a father. David’s life provides a good example of the challenges some face in balancing their public roles as leaders and their private roles as fathers/parents.

Hosted by Kairos Church Planting Support. Ministry that is easy and comes without problems, surprises, or heartburn may sound nice, but is just not realistic or possible! The genius of Jesus’ ministry is that He reveals that God uses suffering and pain to bring us to Himself and to our true selves. Kevin and Brenda Woods will share the beauty…and the terror…of effective ministry that is rooted in life-challenges that are both pain-filled and also deeply satisfying.

From our hymns to our mission statements, Christians are notorious for using the word lost to describe non-Christians. The metaphor has become so overused, in fact, that it has become completely detached from its original and highly subversive meaning. Jesus used the word lost as a prophetic critique against the bigotry of religious leaders, but we’ve turned it into a mildly pejorative term for outsiders. As we reconsider this biblical metaphor, we will discover a startlingly urgent message for us today.
