Suffering Servants: Conversations of the Unspoken
Christianity has a lot of unspoken suffering and challenges. Suffering Servants is our attempt to bring these every day struggles into the modern context by reading books, articles, and conversing about the ever changing culture and the Church's response to such change. We also have conversations with other "suffering servants" about their sufferings in life and what God has revealed to them through those sufferings. Ultimately, no matter how awful things get for us here on earth, we know that Christ Jesus, the ultimate Suffering Servant, is not only with us in it but has also promised to redeem in all in His return to make all things new.
Suffering Servants: Conversations of the Unspoken
Detaching From The World
On today's episode we spend a few minutes talking about the tragic shooting in Nashville and what can the Church do in response. We also revisit one of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's most known works, The Cost of Discipleship. We focus in on Chapter 4, Discipleship and the Cross, specifically the line that Dietrich writes about how the call of Christ is to detach from the world. Do we do this? Can we do this? What kind of suffering comes with this? The comfort for the Christian is that Christ is carrying that cross WITH us. Have a listen!
