Hour 1: Mere Christians
Do you ever wonder what it means to truly glorify God in your work if you’re not a pastor, missionary, or religious professional? Rather than offering theological exposition to answer that question, our guest, Jordan Raynor, will use vivid, fast-paced storytelling to present the captivating lives of five “mere Christians” who will show you what it looks like to follow Christ wherever you live and work.
Hour 2: Faithful Disobedience
Throughout China's rapidly growing cities, a new wave of unregistered house churches is growing. They are developing rich theological perspectives that are both uniquely Chinese and rooted in the historic doctrines of the faith. To understand how they have endured despite government pressure and cultural marginalization, we must understand both their history and their theology. Join us as we discover the writings of those who live under Communist oppression and yet still live by faith. Learn what it means to be faithfully disobedient.
