Welcome to another inspiring episode of Anchored & Reaching, hosted by Kevin Mannoia. In this episode, Kevin delves into the importance of generously engaging with the world as Christians while living in an increasingly pluralistic society. He emphasizes the need for a faith that is more descriptive than prescriptive, focusing on experiencing and describing the transformative power of God in our lives.Kevin shares the powerful story of John Wesley's "strangely warmed" heart and how his faith journey was marked by vulnerability, openness, and an eagerness to live out God's work in his life. By embracing a faith that is descriptive rather than prescriptive, we can better represent and reflect Jesus Christ in our interactions with others and build stronger connections with those around us.In this episode, you will learn:The difference between prescriptive and descriptive faith and why the latter is essential for engaging with our pluralistic cultureHow being descriptive allows us to be more open, vulnerable, and surrendered to God's influence in our livesThe importance of focusing on God's work in our lives rather than imposing doctrines or prescribed behaviors on othersHow the story of John Wesley serves as an example of the power of experiencing and describing God's presence in our livesJoin Kevin Mannoia on this enlightening journey to a deeper understanding of what it means to live a faith that is anchored and reaching, as we strive to generously engage with the world around us.#AnchoredAndReaching #DescriptiveFaith #JohnWesley #GenerousEngagement #PluralisticSociety #KingdomMinded #GodWithUsGenerous EngagementChristians are called to engagement with the world. That’s what we mean when we say we are “the hands and feet of Jesus,” bringing the Kingdom of God wherever we go. Unfortunately, we often choose to engage in ways that can feel more like a sales pitch than real concern for the world in which we live and participate.Becoming generous in our engagement requires a mindset like that of Christ, where salvation isn’t giving up on the world but is instead redemption of God’s creation. “Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven,” wasn’t a platitude - it was the goal. Let’s consider what that looks like as we prepare ourselves for generous engagement. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
