As a Fellowship, Living Faith has always believed that healthy churches reproduce and that the great commission demands far more than maintaining what already exists. It calls us to send laborers into the harvest to plant vibrant, disciple making churches in places where gospel centered, Bible believing communities are desperately needed.Toronto offers exactly that kind of opportunity. A global crossroads where the nations converge. Toronto is one of the most diverse, dynamic, and densely populated cities in North America. A true epicenter of business, education, technology and culture. Today, on the postscript, we're joined by Josh O'Hora, professional counselor with Sound Mind, and a church planter preparing to launch a new work in Toronto.Josh and his family are currently on deputation, partnering with churches to build the support system needed to establish that gospel centered disciple making church that we were describing in one of the most influential and multicultural cities in the world.Visit https://www.lftoronto.com/Visit https://www.lffellowship.com/Visit https://www.lfbi.org/learnmore

In his most recent books The Master and His Emissary (2009) and The Matter with Things (2021), psychiatrist and neuroscientist Ian McGilchrist has explored the meaning of the asymmetry between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. His thesis is that we are in a period in history where the West has become obsessed with the reductionistic, decontextualised, algorithmic thinking of the left brain, whilst devaluing the holistic, integrated and lived experience of the right brain. I will be exploring the implications of McGilchrist's thesis for Christian faith and asking whether his ideas might help us understand why many Christians today feel their faith lacks a living experience of God.Please note that the ideas expressed in this lecture do not necessarily represent the views of L'Abri Fellowship.For more resources, visit the L'Abri Ideas Library at labriideaslibrary.org.

The most significant danger we face is delusion of the soul, believing we are something when, in reality, we are nothing. False faith is dead and brings no true profit. We must distinguish between dead religion, which lacks genuine life, and living faith, which bears fruit in our lives. As Luther famously said, "Faith alone saves, but the faith that saves is not alone." True faith is active and alive, evidenced by the transformation it produces.
Pastor Julie Kahwagi shares from Hebrews 11 how the heroes of the faith displayed extraordinary faith while being ordinary people. تشارك القس جولي قهوجي من العبرانيين ١١ كيف ابطال الايمان اظهروا ايمانًا غير عادي بينما كانوا اشخاصًا عاديين
