Daniel 7 highlights a pattern about life during exile and a promise for life after exile. The pattern is clear: human kingdoms become beastly when they glorify their own power and redefine good and evil. But the promise is greater: one day God will remove all beastly kingdoms, and the Son of Man will receive […]
To live as a Creative Minority is to take up a counter-cultural mission. In Daniel 6, Daniel shows us how — by treating our work and character as part of God's call, by discerning truth from distortion in our culture, and by making our homes in God through prayer. Cascades Church is a church in […]
Pride distorts — it elevates us above God and leaves us unable to relate rightly to Him or to others. In Daniel 4, God humbles King Nebuchadnezzar and uses Daniel to reveal His truth and grace through two vital postures: compassion and courage. If we're going to live as a creative minority in our day, […]
Everyone worships. The question is what we will give our ultimate attention and affection to. In Daniel 3, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego remind us that no matter the cost, God alone is worthy of our worship and He alone is able to deliver us. Their encounter with God also teaches us that what we elevate […]
How can we influence a culture often at odds with God’s ways while remaining faithful to God? In Daniel 2, we look at how Daniel's dependence on God's wisdom leads to him to compassionately advocate for his enemies and proclaim to King Nebuchadnezzar God’s triumphant, coming, and eternal kingdom. These practices vital to be being […]
How do we follow Jesus faithfully as a minority in a culture whose values are at times alien or even hostile to the way of Jesus? In this message we examine Daniel 1 exploring how Daniel and his friends lived as creative minorities — neither withdrawing from Babylon nor compromising with it — but resolving […]
Jay covers the last part of Galatians 3 this week. It's all about inclusion! Exploring what would happen if our individual identities had no hierarchy over another. It takes a lot of courage to point our inequality, not just right in front of us with also with people that we don't have contact with. Are we really ready to be uncomfortable to reach the "promise land" without becoming bitter about the struggle that is involved? Can we be the creative minority to win the understanding of others without humiliation?Please reach out and support Revolution's work. It is greatly appreciated.

Ahmed Khan is the host of "The Creative Minority" podcast, which seeks to engage with contemporary intellectual issues ranging from but not included to politics, philosophy, theology, sociology, metaphysics, ethics, history, medicine and others. I recently learned about Ahmed's channel after speaking to Dr. Mohamed Ghilan and he recommended I check it out. What appealed to me is that Ahmed is getting beyond surface level conversations and getting deep with his guests, most of who not all have Ph.D's in their specialty. He does a great job of bringing in subject matter experts. This podcast was recorded primarily for his channel and we agreed to post to both of our platforms as a collaboration.

“I wanted him in this liminal space.

Adventures in Missions Adventures in Missions is an interdenominational missions organization that focuses on discipleship. We emphasize prayer and relationships in our work around the world. Since we were established in 1989, we have taken over 115,000 people into the mission field, some for as short as a week and others for as long as a year or longer. We minister year-round through our ministry bases and strategic ministry partnerships. We believe that by giving people the opportunity to step outside their comfort zones and join what God is doing in other cultures and nations, lives are transformed. We seek to disciple as Jesus did; our vision is that God would use us to raise up a generation of radically committed disciples of Jesus Christ. Family Mission Trips: https://www.adventures.org/family-mission-trips/ Conversation Notes 3:42 – Statement from a friend who works at Barna that heavily influenced Jon's life, “The church has basically reached a point of irreversible decline statistically, and by radical discipleship of our children, what would be described as a historic revival the church is beyond human turnaround. So it's going to take an act of God and radical discipleship for our kids.” 5:00 – “The summer of covid-19 has probably been the hardest season of my life, but I've seen the greatest answers to prayer in my entire life this summer as well.” 5:28 – Thoughts on personal prayer life and for our kids. “Intercessory prayer for the places that we live, having a sense of call to shape a place through prayer, those are sort of the huge passions of my life and I think it's the number one thing most people want to do, but don't know how to do. And it's the thing the enemy attacks the most because it's where all the power and fruit lie.” 7:58 – How to coach our kids to pray? Make Jesus as compelling as possible. Also, stewarding your own life of prayer and sharing those answers with your kids. And make prayer fun. “The goal of prayer is to get your kids to love Jesus and I think when you're a kid, making prayer as enjoyable as possible and having consistency over intensity.” 8:19 – Dr. David Ireland. Jon Tyson's coach. 8:43 – Thoughts on having a coach, finding a coach, and what Jon has learned from that relationship and how it's changed his life. 11:11 – Reasons to have a coach – “I think everybody needs someone older speaking into what they do. It's it's quite often in midlife…you've got enough success, you've sort of built your own coping mechanisms, tactics… you're kind of like ‘I can just keep it going… I've built a life [and] I can probably manage this thing out,' and I was just like I need to get better. The future's changing and as things grow I need to be more agile, so I need to get a different toolkit.” 13:25 – How to recognize a mentor? “I think… we all need to know what are we deeply called to, and then we'll know when we have the right person to speak into our lives.” 13:44 – The Primal Path: Raising a Son of Consequence 15:19 – Sharing about writing meaningful letters to important people in our life. 15:53 – His son's voluntary expression of gratitude and how it impacted him. 16:48 – Writing a letter to his dad to share with him what he got right. 17:52 – Richard Rohr – “Whatever pain is not transformed is transmitted.” “We tend to break our kids in the same place that we are broken because we don't know a way through it.” 19:48 The Council of Dads: My Daughters, My Illness, and the Men Who Could Be Me by Bruce Feiler 20:52 – The World Race 20:57 – Sharing about the experience for his son. “I wanted him in this liminal space. My goal was to irreparably break his heart for the poor of the world so he'd never just be a spoiled, complacent American ever – He'd always be haunted, because those years are so formative… I just wanted to get in there, God's heart for the poor.” 21:51 – Book: The compound effect. 22:21 – Sharing the story of his son's finishing The Primal Path with a 33 day hike across Spain 23:49 – Parenting through social contracts – agreements around responsibilities, rights and privileges. Inspired by Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective Families 26:32 – Book: Parenting With Love And Logic by Foster Cline 27:18 – “We have a responsibility to take the beauty of Jesus and make him come alive in our kid's hearts.” 28:03 – The Primal Path. “The missing piece in modern culture, designed to help you walk a kid from adolescence into adulthood.” 29:11 – “Designed to create a sacred relationship and a sacred journey between his father and his kids to help them get into adulthood….if you don't initiate your kids and take them on a journey, they will self-initiate, often through tremendous harm, or the culture will initiate them….it's basically who's going to design the pathway of helping your kids figure out life? 30:11 – “I'm trying to disrupt toxic masculinity and reclaim as normal a formation pathway from adolescence into manhood.” 30:23 – Pathway for his daughter – “50 Pieces of My Heart: 50 key deposits every father needs to make in his daughter's life.” 30:50 – Jon's next book, Intentional Father, Outlines five kinds of dads: Irresponsible dads – come in, get out, do nothing Ignorant dads – don't know what they are doing and do damage Inconsistent dads – torn with their own ambitions – often absent Involved dads – our culture's version of a great dad Intentional Father – believes it's the primary responsibility and builds a pathway based on who those kids are 32:33 – Sermon series around Altars. Message about the Home 32:54 – Most recent book: The Beautiful Resistance – Being a dad of conviction vs. compromise. “Part of it comes with a sense of sort of working through your own drama… and figuring out what it is that God's given you, understanding what faithfulness to Jesus looks like, and then fundamentally breaking the fear of man… I'm not going to give an account to our culture for my life, I'm going to give an account to Jesus and there's joy in having convictions and there's joy in keeping them.” 34:24 – “Work out the convictions that God puts in your heart, convictions about discipleship, and then just don't care what people think. And it takes a lot of work and maintenance to not care what people think. And then to raise kids who are not controlled by the fear of man or the culture. You can't impart that if you don't have that. So there's a lot of soul work that you need to do to understand your own values and your own convictions and then be willing to literally go to war for them.” 37:12 – “Maintain the emotional bond with your kid. Kids come out of the womb with an emotional bond. Cultivate it. Keep it. That's the most important principle. So whenever you want to do any of these things, there's a connection where they trust you and they see that it's worth it.” Conversation Links The Primal Path Course – Raise a son of consequence The Intentional Father: A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Courage and Character (available Father's Day 2021) Beautiful Resistance: The Joy of Conviction in a Culture of Compromise Jon's Altars Series The Heart The Home The Church The City Jon Tyson Instagram Twitter Church of the City New York Links from dadAWESOME https://dadawesome.org/life/ Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team https://dadawesome.org/tour/

In this interview, we discuss the difficulty of being a Christian pastor in NYC, why our culture doesn't focus on leading boys into manhood, how fathers can intentionally impact their sons over time, the four questions every father must answer about their son, why we should “sever” the relationship between our sons and their mothers, why initiation for young men is so important, and much more.

Whenever God gets ready to do a new thing, there is always the temptation to resist it. We are in a transitional season in the life of our Church, with so many changes all around us. How do we make sure we don't miss the new thing God is doing among us? This week, we dive into the dangers of nostalgia and amnesia during seasons of great change. The devil would love for us to dwell in the past or in the future, but the present is where we find the Spirit of God at work in our lives.
When was the last time you looked in the mirror and walked away knowing God more? The culture of our day tells us that beauty is a standard to strive for, rather than an identity to live from. This week, Ying shares about how God redeems our broken relationships with our bodies, and how in Christ we are finally enough.
In our fast-paced culture of exhaustion and burnout, how do we live in rest? This week, we explore our distorted relationship with time and how God longs to redeem it through Sabbath. We see that God's love has a speed, and we experience life at its fullest when we learn to walk in rhythm with Him.
What is the Kingdom of God? How do we create Kingdom culture wherever we are planted? This week, Dan Fang leads us into a deeper exploration of the Kingdom of God and what it means to architects of Kingdom culture.
What does life look like post-pandemic? As the world around us reopens, what is God calling us to reopen our hearts to? We believe that in this season, God is calling us to dream again, and to radically recommit ourselves to the Church.
Have you ever felt a disconnect between your head and your heart? Between what you know is true and what you feel? This week, Morene Chow shares about how we can find God in the in-between and what it means to trust God with everything.
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself: What are the things I'm pledging my allegiance to? And does it clash with my allegiance to Jesus? This week, we enter into the story of Daniel 3 and explore the dangers of bowing to the civic religion of America.
The Church is not a "them," it's an "us." It's easy to occupy a mind-space where we dissociate ourselves from the Church, especially at a time when we're seeing Christians on the news doing things we consider embarrassing or far from the heart of Jesus. How do we reckon with it all? This week, Lisa Muloma shares about her personal experience discovering what it means to do Church as a family, despite the many things that would otherwise divide us.
It's official. We're living in a post-Christian world. Followers of Jesus have shifted from being the majority inn society to being the minority. How do we be the Church during a time like this? How do we engage with culture? This week, we kick off our new collection as we explore the book of Daniel and learn what it means to be a Creative Minority.
