We want to invite you to a new website designed to inspire, encourage, challenge and equip disciples of all ages.
The world is starting to understand that unless young people develop true resiliency (the emotional strength needed to bounce back from life’s disappointments), they most likely will struggle to navigate life well. As Christians, we understand the world and culture are fallen, so this kind of emotional fortitude is not found through the ideas and philosophies of society, but in the Biblical narrative.
This new website is a collective, a growing partnership between some church leaders, elders, and members of congregations worldwide. We are positive it will grow, mainly because so many of us are realizing that the wisdom of the world will not develop spiritual and emotional strength in the next generation. We must disciple their hearts and minds by standing firm on the inspiring and infallible word of God.
The resources on this site will be driven by three main values:
First, see the Bible as the primary and ultimate source for all truth and evangelistic engagement.
God’s Word is sufficient for a life of godliness, and is enough for us to faithfully engage a fallen and sinful world (Psalm 119:105, Isaiah 40:8, Romans 10:17, 2 Tim. 3:14-16, Hebrews 4:12-13, 1 Peter 1:23-25).
Second, equip people for biblical cultural discernment.
We simply must help people of all ages to navigate the complexities of culture, encouraging them to faithfully be in the world, but not of the world (Psalm 119:130, John 17:17, Romans 12:2, 15:4, Ephesians 6:17, 2 Tim. 2:15, 4:2-4, Colossians 2:8). It’s getting harder to live as a faithful Christian in a post-Christian society. On the other hand, the gospel shines the brightest when we resist the temptation to let culture define who we are as people of light. This current missional reality represents an inspiring opportunity!
Third, continue to develop a Biblically creative and faithful evangelistic vision as we seek to make disciples in each generation.
The ultimate goal of our calling is to glorify God with our lives, and help others find their place in his redemptive story (Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 4:12, Rom. 3:23-26, 1 Tim. 2:4, Titus 3:3-8).
The website has been live for just over a month, and the early feedback has been so positive! It will continue to grow as a resource for articles, videos, helpful links, recommended books and websites. We even offer workshops devoted to building up God’s people in this post-Christian society.
More than anything, we want to be hopeful and responsible stewards of our faith and God’s word. We hope to model ourselves after the men of Issachar, those visionary leaders we read about in the Old Testament:
“From the tribe of Issachar, there were 200 leaders of the tribe with their relatives. All these men understood the signs of the times and knew the best course for Israel to take.” – 1 Chronicles 12:32 (NLT)
We want to grow in our understanding of the times we live in, engage culture with a high view of scripture, and equip as many people as possible to do the same thing.
