About (Long Version)
This podcast is something I've desired to do for over a year now. I told my wife, and being the supportative and awesome wife that she is, said "Go for it." I didn't want to just "go for it" though. There are many things people do on a whim, because they thought they had a good idea, just to not follow through with it once they get started. So I prayed about it and asked very specifically that if this was God, to let this idea continue to grow and marinate in my heart. If it went away, I knew I wasn't really serious about it and it was best to not even start. But one year later the original idea has only matured and the vision has been made clearer. So here we are! I'm excited to learn from like-minded people, people who have a desire to make their mark on this world while being an example of a Christ follower.
Our world is changing, especially in America. We are not the same people were were 100 years ago or even a few decades ago. The generation of millennials have taken their seat at the decision-making table, they are now highly influential, smart, educated, and an excellence demanding people. They are more skeptical than perhaps the majority of generations before them, many are leaving tradition, religion, and faith with their parents or grandparents. They are pushing humanism, secularism, and scientism as the new philosophies we should all adopt. If this same generation on the Christian side does nothing, the church of tomorrow will be hardly anything. Churches that have been around for ages will continue to close, young people will continue to leave the faith, and Chrisitanity in America will decline. This cannot happen. While this podcast does not intend to reverse the current trends that exist in our culture, it does aim at being a voice to Christians who also would be devastated to see such a world. By learning from one another in aspects of the Christian walk and how to live a life of influence all while pointing people to Christ, we can begin to impact our world in a postive and Godly way.
To My Listeners
I challenge every listener to do just that, learn. Be open minded, especially to ways that don't directly parallel yours. Think outside the box, this world is calling for creativity and excellence. And most of all, be influential. Be a light wherever you go and with whomever you're with. Don't compromise your faith, your beliefs, nor your character. Introduce people to Jesus through your acts of love, compassion, kindness, and stewerdship. In turn I believe we will all grow in our walk with Christ as well as develop as disciples of Him.
