The Message, and the Messenger

Our culture used to ask questions about the objective evidence for the existence of God; now we are more likely to get questions about whether or not Christianity works . Does it affect real people with real lives? Does it actually change people? And how? Does it address the problems of human life? Does it provide tangible hope? Christians, in view of the Greatest Commandment and the Great Commission, understand that the message must be both proclaimed and demonstrated, embodying the grace and mercy and holiness of God in such a way that glorifies God. This can be reflected in our ministry practices and programs…or it can impact that upcoming breakfast meeting with a friend. This topic will call us to embody the message on our best days and our worst days, and challenge us be intentional with people as we reflect the message in all of life.

Jason Seiple, Founder of Parable Project and Director of Youth and Youth Mission at Christian Assembly, lives these questions everyday in his youth-focused ministries. Deeply engaged with those both in and outside the church, he has a helpful pulse on this topic.

The Columbus Discipleship Network meets on (typically) the third Thursdays of the month over lunch for inspiration, equipping, and community for a lifestyle of disciplemaking. A catered lunch is provided free of charge, although donations are encouraged to keep it sustainable. As such, RSVPs are required.
