ZEAL Podcast

Around the world, one and a half billion people live in the slums of megacities like Manila, Calcutta, and Sao Paulo. Viv Grigg has lived, planted churches, and brought the kingdom of God to these slums for the last 40 years, and discipled thousands of other Christians to do the same. But its not been an easy ride. Its taken Viv years to work out all the ways Jesus wants to transform people’s lives. We’re talking with Viv today about how he discovered the whole gospel of Jesus Christ, and saw the kingdom of God come in urban poor areas. QUESTIONS?

They saw: 1) Being saved by the gospel (3:46), 2) Quickly catching a vision to reach the world (8:07), 3) Simply obeying God when they heard him speak (13:21), and 4) God changing the world around them through... the gospel.

We were having a fight over charisma and doctrine. We met on Fridays to talk about the doctrine of the church. And so, he finally just looked at me and said, 'Glenn, that's why we don't let blacks make doctrine. They're too emotional.'" - Glenn Bracey on the podcast Truth's Table http://soundcloud.com/truthstable/multiethnic-churches-an-interview-with-dr-glenn-bracey-part-2 How ZEAL came about, core topics we plan to focus on, and the variety of perspectives we hope to hear.
