The Community of the Faithful

No matter where you come from or where you are going, it is always better to traverse the journey of life with others. Community is one of the essential parts of our experience here on the Good Ship Earth, and good community has become very hard to come by in an age of tribalism, narcissism, and culture wars. Faithfulness is one of the marks of community that drives connection, conversation, and collaboration. When we are faithful to our values and each other, we allow a level of reality to permeate our relationships, challenging us, accepting us, and keeping us accountable to the truth of our existence. Finding this type of faithful community has a transformational value that grows and stretches you in ways that you never knew were possible. That is my hope for all who come here.

Whatever your background or the history of your experience, we all must come face-to-face with the reality of our existence, purpose, and responsibility in light of those things. In a period where people craft their bespoke ideologies, personal identities, and transcending inspirations, the power we receive through faith can elevate us to a viable hope or sublimate our experience to a frustrating connection of human-powered outcomes. In this, we must be transformed by renewing our minds rather than the rationalizations of our creation or the relevance of our perception.

What follows here at this little corner of the internet is an effort to bring clarity to the reality of where we come from and where we are going. There are places for conversations, wrestling through ideas, and experiencing support amidst the battle against principalities and powers. Ultimately, there is only one source of hope for us as we go through this life. My hope is that you find the Almighty in transformative ways, centered on Him and what He is doing in your life and the lives of those around you. Join me as we wander through a variety of ideas that lead toward restoration and reconciliation, where we find a faithful community and a source of hope that is not limited by human-powered efforts or an accumulation of the right kind of words or deeds.

I hope you are encouraged and renewed as we seek the way together.

Big questions to ask

In/Not Of is a book of questions, guiding readers through a 10-part journey to understand the world and engage with identity, values, and purpose. By exploring life’s big questions, we discover truth, recognize our inherent worth, and experience the goodness of our Lord. By discovering reality as it truly is, we can have our minds renewed in Christ and become transformed people who cultivate transformation in our world.
 

The first question, of course, is, what does ” In/Not Of ” refer to? Our earthly reality is something God created: a space made specifically for His people to inhabit, to have dominion over, and to be stewards of. When we speak of our origin as people, this is the reality of God’s ordered world, which we live in and experience every day. That’s the “In” part. When we look at the “Not Of” part, we think of Jesus’ message to His followers in John 17. As He prays to the Father, He says, “They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.” The reality of those who are redeemed and following Christ is that they are no more of the world than God is. This means that the authority they live by is not what the culture says, what other people say, or what “the world” says, but rather what God says. When we live by His desires, His values, and for His mission on Earth, we find purpose in spreading His glory, sharing the Gospel, and discipling others within the community of the Faithful.
