In our modern world the gospel of Jesus is seen by many less as good news for all humanity, and more as the bigoted edicts of a bygone era. Benjamin Chang explores the stories of the revolution, tracing the trajectories of four of the biggest social justice movements–feminism, racial justice, gay pride, and the trans movement–before looking at the ways Christians usually engage with these arenas of cultural conflict (mirror, argue, ignore) and identifying a better way forward.

Jesus told his followers, “Go and make disciples of every nation,” but a lot of us stop before we start―because we feel like we don’t have what it takes. But Jesus didn’t ask spiritual superstars to make disciples. He invited ordinary people into the adventure of following Him. Jessie Cruickshank learned how to be a disciplemaker in the wilderness.

Aunque las palabras y acciones de los doce apóstoles se encuentran dispersas por todo el Nuevo Testamento, reunir las piezas puede resultar confuso, agotador y, sencillamente, difícil. Los nombres se repiten o cambian con frecuencia. Se mencionan trabajos anteriores y posibles destinos, pero incluso un mapa del mundo antiguo puede ser difícil de reconstruir. Algunos libros de la Biblia fueron escritos por los apóstoles, otros no, y otros solo dan pistas enigmáticas sobre quién los leyó, dónde y por qué.

Some being so small and contained to a specific area that they have never found their way into the history books, like that of an unreached tribe deep in the jungles of Brazil reached by a small team of missionary students, to the mighty rushing winds recorded in rural churches of Alaska. But very rarely do revivals come with such a fiery spreading and global impact as the Azusa Street Revival, which took place from 1906 to 1908.

Mark Meynell articulates a heart pain that most of us simply couldn't express. He connects strongly and immediately with fellow cave-dwellers.

When Scott first became pastor of Oaks Church, it had been stuck at 650 in attendance for a decade. Three times, the church had grown to 900. But all three times, it dropped back down to 650. That was the hole in their bucket.

What if the solution for the decline of today's church isn't more money, people, programs, innovation, or busyness? What if the answer is to stop and wait on God? In When Church Stops Working, ministry leaders Andrew Root and Blair Bertrand show how actively watching and listening for God can bring life out of death for churches in crisis today. Using clear steps and practices, they invite church leaders to stop the endless cycle of doing more and rather to simply "be" in God's presence.
