Revisiting Episode 17 from December 3, 2020. Podcast: Play in new window | Download Subscribe: Google Podcasts | Email | RSS | More Author Shane Claiborne IN THIS EPISODE In this episode of Messy Jesus Business, originally released as episode 17 from Dec. 3, 2020, Sister Julia Walsh talks with Shane Claiborne, a best-selling author, speaker and activist. They discuss what it means to be a peacemaker while living in one of the world's most heavily armed countries and a monumental gun death toll. “Violence is one of those demons that goes back to our very foundations in our country,” Claiborne says. Claiborne says the U.S. has 5% of the world's population, but almost half of the world's guns, and poses the question, “What would Jesus, the Prince of Peace, be saying right now?” Sister Julia and Shane Claiborne also discuss the importance of remaining joyful and hopeful, even when surrounded by the pain of the world. “I like how Karl Barth said we need to read the bible in one hand, but we need to hold the newspaper in the other… so that our faith doesn't just become a ticket into heaven and a license to ignore the world we live in, but our faith should actually fuel us to want to change the world,” Claiborne says. In addition, they discuss the importance of community and the messiness that comes from the Christian veneer of perfection. “A lot of the times we sort of act like the church is a country club for saints, rather than a hospital for sinners.” Claiborne says honesty can help manage the resulting mess. He remembers walking into a church where greeters wore shirts that said, “No perfect people allowed.” “If that was greeting every person coming into every church, it would give you a sense of reality, like this is a home for you even if you don't have it all together… our wounds are not our liabilities, they are our credentials.” He adds, “Honesty can show this Gospel is not for the Righteous, but for the sinner.” FOR MORE INFORMATION: Learn more about the Red Letter Christians movement, headed by Shane Claiborne, by exploring their website.

In this episode of the Ordinary Radicals podcast, Jonathan Hayashi, and Brandon Boatner about pride and humility in leadership. What do you do when you find “pride” in your pastor? How would you feel when you find out your “lead pastor” is maybe a control freak? Some highlights from today's episode. Deep down in the heart issue, the problem is between “pride” and “humility” in leadership. Some people just feel uncomfortable to give “control” to others. They rather do it all themselves. Guess what? You will kill yourself in ministry. There must be a balance in communication and level of delegation in leadership structure. The experience of “hurt” at times morphs into making them rely more on “self” A prideful leader has a sense of “elevation of self” with “my way or the highway” Arrogant people use it in “manipulation” to get what-they-want. When we think ministry only happens only between the “four walls”, we're in huge problem. Arrogant pastors will hurt people eventually. Prideful leaders, if you would like Satan, have become puffed up with pride. They are satanic. Arrogant leaders; (1) hide sin, (2) minimize sin, (3) justify sin, (4) rationalize sin. Repeated apology is not “repentance” Everyday with Jesus is better than the day before. Accountability and authenticity are important for gospel conversation for lost and Christians. Arrogance can ruin a ministry and it is important to speak into those situations. Don't do it by being the master manipulator just like the arrogant leader from a hurtful heart. The past can make you either bitter or the past can make you better. Be careful who you let on the ship, cause sometimes if they can't be the captain, they are willing to sink the whole ship down. Don't lose hope, God can work in anyone's heart. Keep praying for your leaders. Don't get caught up in your self-pity soaking mode. That will make you more depressed. Here's the breakdown outline from today's conversation. 1. Why Are Certain People are “Control Freaks”? - Not all these cases we are able to say “black-and-white” distinction issues. It's gray. - Marriage counseling with “Abuse” finds similar characteristics. - Authoritarian Leader who are “King of the hill” or the “CEO of the home” - The heart of the problem is always the problem of the heart. - Pride is huge in ministry, where people are that way out of “hurt” - Arrogance just simply likes to rely more on “self” because they know better than other. 2. Characteristic of Arrogance and Pride? - Secular definition, “narcissistic personality disorder” - Biblical definition, “Scoffer” is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride. (Prov 21:24). - Prideful leaders are good at justifying what they want and desires. - "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." (Prov 16:18). - “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” (Jam 4:6). - “For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” (John 1:16-17). - In marriage cases, prideful leaders will “gaslight” the conversation and exaggerate issues. - Pharisees cared so much about their own thoughts, good at pointing fingers at others. 3. Humility and Humble Heart of Leader - There needs to be a certain amount of discernment when we deal with the heart of a leader. - Humility comes along with other characteristics of a leader (Gal 5:22). 4. How to Deal with Prideful Leaders (Pastors)? - The cure to “pride” is repentance, which is byproduct of the gospel. - Progressive sanctification, sometimes if repentance is not there, the leader may not be “saved” - Begin with the gospel - Repentance is not just words. It is not just head, but the heart is truly broken before the Lord. - The standard of repentance is not “perfection” but head, heart, and hands (course of life) change. - “See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no ‘root of bitterness' springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defile” (Heb 12:15). - Pastors need help too! They are not Jesus. Let's not make them Jesus. - Jesus came not to be served but to serve (Mark 10:45). 5. Pragmatically Why Pride in Leadership Doesn't Help. - Moses from the Old Testament, pastors can learn from biblical character. - The local church is crucial as we are “better together” - Christianity is not solo or a spectator sports. - 1 Peter 2 teaches that Christ is the cornerstone who is living to help unity in the body. 6. What to Do When You're Under a Toxic Leader? - Esther in the Old Testament, gives hope for leaders who are under toxic leadership. - “For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14). - As leaders, we need to be very wise how to converse and talk about issues like this with grace. - Important not to take the “victim mentality” as an identity of a child of God. - Too often, people do it from a critical heart rather than a heart of restoration with grace. - Naomi in the Old Testament, grants an example for suffers not to end up as victim mentality. - “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.” (Ruh 1:20). - “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man.” (1 Cor 10:13). 7. When Do you Tell the Minister to “Cut-Ties”? - Sometime for the sake of the gospel, it's ok to say goodbyes. - “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!” (Ps 133:1). - Don't drag down the whole body, take the highroad and the higher way for God's glory. - God will really honor when you take the higher way to maintain peace and unity. - “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,” (1 Pet 5:6). - “God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.” (Ps 46:1). - Paul in the New Testament, he must have been a very prideful person before Christ. - “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Cor 12:9). - “you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good” (Gen 50:20). - Sovereignty focus rather than Suffering focus. - “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds” (Jam 1:2).

I can't believe it is 2023! Whether you are a goal maker, or one who doesn't love making new intentions or resolutions, I think we can agree that we all need more God in our life this year. More of his compassion, love, kindness, peace, grace, and all the other attributes. In this podcast I talk about 3 ways we can do that this year: Make space for him. Experience Him in different ways. Ask him to take over. Some of my favorite resources: Bibles: The Voice Bible She Reads Truth journal Bible Devotions: Jesus Calling by Sarah Young You are Beloved by Henri Nouwen New Morning Mercies by Paul David Tripp Prayers and liturgies: Every Moment Holy Common Prayer, A liturgy for Ordinary Radicals
In this episode of the Ordinary Radicals podcast, Jonathan Hayashi, and Brandon Boatner talk about winning over wayward Christians. What do you do when the one you love is wayward? How do you go about having gospel conversation with family members? Some highlights from today's episode. • We sadly see this scenario quite common. • It is IMPOSSIBLE for us to restore someone to faith. Only God can. • The modern church movement with A.B.C. of salvation. They have water down the gospel. • If they truly believe, they will never walk away from the faith. • Denying the holiness of God in the heart? Takes a constant struggle there with the action. • People can say, “I do not like you” that can quickly turn to, “I don't believe in you” • What is going on? As men, we are taught to absorb our own emotions. That's a problem. • Not only men cry, but God cries. So, we should experience those emotions. • Life is not just a bunch of snap shots of pictures. It is more like a movie clip that moves forward. • False thinking process, “God allows that to happen, therefore, God doesn't care for me” • A person may have genuinely not been born again, or they could have hardened their hearts in sin. • Dialogue, “Oh yeah, Jesus doesn't understand pain, betrayal, or hurt cause he hasn't felt it” Here's the breakdown outline from today's conversation. 1. How Do You Share the Faith to One who has Denied Christ? - Common scenario: Husband who leaves the faith and wife who stays faithful. - Is the person in exile? Sojourn? Is it even possible? - The passage on apostasy (Heb 6:1-5). - Lordship Salvation & Easy Believism. - “He who has begun a good work will complete it by the day of Jesus Christ” (Phil 1:7). 2. Empathy with those in Lamentation. - Psalms, majority of them are not happy. - Grieving the Holy Spirit that can eventually lead to quenching the Holy Spirit. - The parable of the Four soils (Matt 13:1-23). - Hebrews 12:15-16 speaks of the issue of the root of bitterness. 3. What is the Plan to Go about with Wayward Christian? - Counseling approach by, “Taking time” with the person. - “Men don't cry.” Well, the shortest verse in the Bible, “Jesus wept” (John 11:35). - Let people cry and have a shoulder to cry on. - “He who gives an answer before he listens, it is folly and shame.” (Prov 18:13). - Give the benefit of the doubt. “What is going on down in the heart?” - People don't overcome problems in just an hour. Give some time to walk through the narrative. - Every situation is different. You can't just expect to take two tablets and move forward. 4. Burden person walking into a church? - Spiritual warfare could be going on. There may be a dysfunction in their theological belief. - Evangelism & Apologetics comes into the conversation. - Restoration: The heart of the gospel from the garden and God bringing us back to the cross. - “Blessed be the God of all comfort and the God of all mercies” (2 Cor 1:3-4).

Co-authors Chris Haw and Shane Claiborne discuss updates to their influential book Jesus for President: Politics for Ordinary Radials -Jesus for President stirs the imagination of what the church could look like if it placed its faith in Jesus instead of Caesar. A fresh look at Christianity and empire, Jesus for President transcends questions of "Should I vote or not?" and "Which candidate?" by thinking creatively about the fundamental issues of faith and allegiance."

In this episode of the Ordinary Radicals podcast, Jonathan Hayashi, and Brandon Boatner about church hurt. It's a serious, isn't it? There's church hurt in people in general, but how does that all lay out? Why does this “hurt” seems unique? How does it manifest itself? Some highlights from today's episode. Hurt is something we all go through because of sin. Preach the word in and out of seasons. Don't want to be stuck in past circumstances, that influences the present moments, which unbales you to move towards the future opportunities. Dealing with maturity can help move beyond church hurt. Churches can be like counselor. It may take time for you to find a healthy church. Criticism with concern is constructive. Criticism without concern is combative. Casting stones, that hurts. That is the reason we can sympathize with those who hurt. Church is not like family. Church IS FAMILY. That is why it hurt. When we choose to forgive and move on, we are emulating Jesus to people. Here's the breakdown outline from today's conversation. 1. What Does Church Hurt Look Like? - Hurt Process: (1) Hurt (2) Anger (3) Bitter (4) Revenge. - “See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled” (Heb 12:15). - Fruit of flesh vs. fruit of the spirit (Gal 5). 2. How Do We Best Minister to Those who Experience Church Hurt? - Grace-filled moments? Preach the gospel to ourselves. - Put on Christ vs. Put Off Self. - Revitalization with those who experienced church hurt. - Sit and talk about past issues may help at times to navigate difficult pain. - Hurt people hurt people. - “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,” (2 Cor 1:3). 3. What Might We Tell People Stop Going to Church? - I cannot be Jesus to everyone. I cannot be Messiah for people. - Church is not museum of saints but hospital for sinners. - “Do not neglect the assembly of believers” (Heb 10:24). - There's no perfect church. No judgement-free church. 4. Every Pastor Learned to Live with Church Hurt - Everyone lives in a glasshouse. For a pastor? It's up on top of a hill. - “It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until he has hurt him deeply” – A.W. Tozer - Forgiveness is hurtful when we don't want to forgive. - “Forgive them for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34).

In this episode, activist Shane Claiborne echoes Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's framework that the Church is not the master or the servant of the State, but the consciousness of the State. This is a framework that gives us the freedom as Jesus-followers to actively and wholeheartedly engage with politics. It is our job that when the State causes harm to our fellow image-bearers, we critique the State at the ballot box because of our convictions of love and God's desire to see human flourishing.

At the end of our first 5 years of 'Turning Towards Life' we ask - how do we do the difficult work of reconciliation, of making peace with ourselves and with those with whom we share this one life, without abandoning ourselves or one another? How do we make peace together in a world where there are rarely easy answers, and where the right path is often shrouded in complexity? And can we commit ourselves to peace-making in the most ordinary ways as an endless path to walk, rather than as a 'thing' to be obtained? Hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace. Turning Towards Life, a week-by-week conversation inviting us deeply into our lives, is a live 30 minute conversation hosted by Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn of Thirdspace. Find us on FaceBook to watch live and join in the lively conversation on this episode. You can find videos of every episode, and more about the project on the Turning Towards Life website, and you can also watch and listen on Instagram, YouTube, and as a podcast on Apple, Google, Amazon Music and Spotify. Here's our source for this week: Making Peace Peace making doesn't mean passivity It is the act of interrupting injustice without mirroring injustice The act of disarming evil without destroying the evildoer The act of finding a third way that is neither fight nor flight but the careful, arduous pursuit of reconciliation and justice. It is about a revolution of love that is big enough to set both the oppressed and the oppressors free.

Lord of Creation, create in us a new rhythm of life composed of hours that sustain rather than stress, of days that deliver rather than destroy, of time that tickles rather than tackles.Lord of Liberation, by the rhythm of your truth, set us free from the bondage and baggage that breaks us, from the Pharaohs and fellows who fail us, from the plans and pursuits that prey upon us.Lord of Resurrection, may we be raised into rhythms of your new life, dead to deceitful calendars, dead to fleeting friend requests, dead to the empty peace of our accomplishments.To our packed-full planned calendars, we bid, "Peace!" To our over-caffeinated consciences, we say, "Cease!" To our suffocating selves, Lord, grant us release.Drowning in a sea of deadlines and death chimes, we rest in you, our lifeline.By your ever-restful grace, allow us to enter your Sabbath rest .In the name of our Creator, our Liberator, our Resurrection and Life, we pray. Amen.Taken from: “Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals” by Shane Claiborne and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove.
In this episode of the Ordinary Radicals podcast, Jonathan Hayashi, and Brandon Boatner about the heavy topic of sexual abuse in the church. This is a topic that should be a burdensome and grievous topic for all of us. Difficult topic, yet by the grace of God and His help we want to talk about this idea of sexual abuse despite the secrecy surrounding this topic. How do we help those who feel helpless and hopeless in these situations? What about those who are weak and weary souls of fighting this uphill battle? Can we find answers? Some highlights from today's episode. • When was the last time you heard a pastor preach through the Song of Solomon? NEVER! • The secrecy of sex needs to stop. • Faith-based organizations are often huge targets. Why? For we live in a broken world. • Communicate to the body that, “We take zero-tolerance in regards to sexual abuse” • Even with background checks, predators will work through the systems. • Action doesn't get a pastor out, but often it's an accusation that gets pastors out. • Many of the cases of abuse have come from the hands of leadership. You need accountability. • Always err on the side of loving people well and protecting people that are coming. • We need to first lament and say, “Lord, have mercy” • If you're outraged about all this, we are too. • Let's find hope and help in the name of Jesus. Here's the breakdown outline from today's conversation. 1. The secrecy with the Topic of Sex in the Church - Sex is a topic that nobody wants to talk about and is suppressed often even in the church. - Sex happened before the garden and it is good. - “So, when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.” (Gen 3:6). - The secrecy of sex needs to stop. 2. How to Protect the Survivors in the Church - Listen and lament (sympathize) with those who bring the concern. - Predators will groom the people in the process. - Begin with awareness by teaching and training the body. - Everyone is a mandated reporter. 3. Guardrails for Protection - Billy Graham's rule: Not to be alone with the opposite sex who is not your wife. - The protection of the system is not to meet alone with even children. - Abuse is a multifaceted issue that brings issues from all directions. - If something comes into the light, report it quickly. - It is better to be safe than sorry. - Sexual predators: this is not the first time, there's usually a pattern already seen. 4. SBC: Sexual Abuse Task Force (SATF). - “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort” (2 Cor 1:3). - God's Word is sufficient to help us in biblical reconciliation and restoration. - SBC polity, there's no hierarchy to fire pastors or remove people like other denominations. - This is part of taking out the fire. We deal with it and let's move forward together on a mission. - Resources mentioned in today's podcast • The Majesty's Men Feedback If you have a question you would like answered on the show, fill out the form on the podcast page here at jonathanhayashi.com.

In this episode of the Ordinary Radicals podcast, Jonathan Hayashi, and Brandon Boatner about “Sharing the Pulpit” This seems like an odd topic, but for Brandon and me, we have not seen this done very often or even very well. Why is that so? Why don't pastor like to share the pulpit? What are the benefits from having multiple different people speaking from the pulpit up front? Some highlights from today's episode. Tradition itself is not bad. It can be good. In this case, this tradition is not so good. Seminary can train people in classroom, but churches have great opportunity to give preaching. Preachers, they need a break! Whether that is a reality or not, it is a true statement. “Wait, why is the pastor not preaching? I thought we pay him to preach?” Charles Spurgeon shared the pulpit with D.L. Moody. They both opposite theological spectrum. A shepherd must “guard” the flock from those who are outside. “Hey if you need anyone to preach, I am available” That is RED FLAG! Protect the pulpit. Here's the breakdown outline from today's conversation. 1. Why Don't People Share the Pulpit? - There is a feeling that you share the pulpit, “This is MY SPACE!” - Pulpit represents power and authority. - Jewish synagogue: a rabbi will give a message up front (tradition of the Jews). - Plurality of pastor is a biblical model. Not a solo pastor. Why? Cause there's no perfect pastor. 2. What are the PROS to sharing the Pulpit? - We are giving people experience. - Give a break for the regular preaching pastors. - Diverse gift set of spiritual gifts from multiple preachers. - “Limited Grace Period” = time to learn and grow in preaching. - “How pleasant it is when brothers united in harmony” (Ps 133:1). 3. What are the CONS to sharing the Pulpit? - People may say something you disagree with. - “He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil” (1 Tim 3:6). - Internship program, residency training, pastoral leadership pipeline can be good training. - Learn the basics by teaching how to focus on the Bible. 4. Moving Forward….. - Homiletical Movement in the preaching outline. These are very helpful. - Not only bible colleges or seminaries, but the local church should train next generations. - I wish I had the training of preaching. If pulpit sharing happened, I would've been prepared.

In this episode of the Ordinary Radicals podcast, Jonathan Hayashi and Brandon Boatner talk about the importance of synergy in ministry for pastors and staff. What is synergy? What does it look like we are working together? Encouragement in the body of Christ? Not only Christians as individuals called, but churches collectively are called for we are better together on mission. Some highlights from today's episode. Synergy is coming together to do MORE. Working together is the heart of God. He wants us to do kingdom work. World needs more people like Barnabas. Why? Cause we won't forget who encouragers are. How hard it is to be an island and not locking arms together working towards one goal! If you're a “my own kingdom” sort of ministry, that's not very a New Testament example. When we are NOT synergistic, we start fighting each other. “Follow me” it is good to go with the move of God together being on mission. We must recover the simplicity of the gospel message. Christians must with blood, sweat and tears advance the kingdom gospel. Jesus doesn't unfriend us, unfollow us or block us. But we do that to one another. This life is all about advancing the kingdom of God for His glory and the good of others. I love my worship pastors, but they talk more about gears rather than the glory of God! We are in this together as we are better together. Here's the breakdown outline from today's conversation. 1. Synergy in Ministry by Definition? - Partnership = Koinonia (Acts 2:42). - Mules working together to do MORE and greater power. 2. Benefits of Synergy in Partnering Together on Mission. - Partnership doesn't happen when there's so much division. - Masker vs. Non-Maskers. Vaccine vs. Non-Vaccine people. Must unite around the gospel. - Build your own kingdom vs. Working together in gospel advancement. - Historical significance of synergy? David Livingstone in medical missions. - Hospitals, universities, denominational movement…. Started because synergistic partnership. - “Hallow be your name. Your kingdom come; your will be done” (Matthew 6). - Too much at stake and people are bickering at each other (Philippians 2). 3. Synergistic People are ALL ABOUT JESUS. - Christians are cooperating as co-laborers who are commissioned by Jesus. - Self-righteous indignation say, “I am right” but Jesus is the only truth! (John 14:6). - Gospel centrality is crucial in synergistic work. - Stop bickering, scolding, scrutinizing on twitter towards one another. - Synergy is not happening today as we treat brothers and sisters like enemies. - Gossip: “Have you thought about talking to the person?” - Satan is using each other going against each other. The devil is at work. - Cancel culture: That is anti-Jesus model. That is a dangerous place to be. 4. Koinonia from a Biblical Perspective - Your joy is my joy. Your sorrow is my sorrow. Your grief is my grief. - Ministry of presence: Jesus did that as he synergistically working together. - “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2). - “They will know that you are my disciples by your love for one another.” (John 13). 5. How to Practically Synergistically Work Together - (1). Make yourself available: This just doesn't happen by accident. Intentionality is crucial. - (2). Let your needs to know to others: social media is a great place to start. - (3). Conferences, retreats, camps: collaborate for a lifetime partnership with friends.

n this episode we are excited to sit down with celebrated spiritual writer and sought-after speaker, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove. In his new book REVOLUTION OF VALUES - Jonathan outlines how Christians have misused Scripture to consolidate power, stoke fears, and defend against enemies. A solution to this rest with people who have been hurt by the attacks of Christian nationalism. Jonathan shows us how their voices can help us rediscover God's vision for faith in public life.We discuss people on the frontlines of issues ranging from immigration policy and voting rights to women's rights and much more. This is a conversation that certainly helps us focus on striving to respect the dignity of every human being. Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove is a celebrated spiritual writer and sought-after speaker.

In this episode of the Ordinary Radicals podcast, Jonathan Hayashi and Brandon Boatner speak on the topic of church planting and revitalization. I mean first, what is church planting? What is church revitalization? Are they the same? What makes each of those routes a different and unique route? They will visit and explain their brief thoughts on the difference between church planting and revitalization. Some highlights from today's episode. Both church planting and revitalization are very difficult. Church plant is like a jet ski and church revitalization is a big ship in the bay. Majority of churches, from 60-80% have either plateaued or in a decline. Reading culture is like asking a fish, “what is water?” Churches have become content with doing church rather than being the church. Dying churches have failed to live Hebrews 13:7 to faithfully follow biblical leaders. Church revitalization needs to know what kind of baggage the church carries. Ministry is not about you. “Jonathan, you're doing this for yourself” Sad reality check. People are looking for rest as they are overburdened. Point them to Jesus. That's revitalization. As much as you need the church, the church needs you. So many young pastors overestimate what you can accomplish in the first year of ministry. Stay in your church faithfully for 5 years and see how God will bless you in that ministry. We live in a McDonald's society where we want it right now hot and salty! “I love you church. Now, go make disciples” that's my outro. Church can be a continually discouraging place. You will need encouragement. “I love you” cannot be an abstract principle. I need to not just believe it but show it. Here's the breakdown outline from today's conversation. 1. What is the Difference Between the Two? What Do We Mean by That? - Church planting: No building, no budget starting from scratch. No history with a fresh start. - Church revitalization: Has building, budget, and bylaw (legwork). But tons of baggage. - Church revelation and replanting are not the same either. - Planters have the disadvantage of fundraising and other important matters. 2. The Mission of the Church through America. - Majority of churches throughout America are dying for various reasons. - Baggage: Ministry is just hard. - Jesus came for the spiritually sick. (Mark 2:17) - Church plants can be filled with people who are hurt and broken. - What is the “Golden calf” of the church? - “Come to me for those who are overburdened and weary” (Matt 11:28-30). 3. Process in Planting and Revitalization - If you're a planter, you're most likely proud. - Jesus walked and did ministry. That's how we are supposed to do ministry. - Take your time in doing ministry. - Wherever God calls you to serve, just stay there and serve there faithfully. 4. Calling in Planting and Revitalization is not Second Option - If you don't have a calling, you will fail. - Majority of churches that plant do fail. - Some people who are serving do not have patience and will fail. - Gospel-Driven Ministry vs. Emotional Reactive Ministry. 5. Suggestion for Planters or Revitalizers - Model who you want the church you want to become. - Check your expectation: what are your thoughts there? - Surround yourself with the right people. - Encouragement: “I'm just so encouraged to see the effort you put into.” Feedback If you have a question, you would like answered on the show, fill out the form on the podcast page here at jonathanhayashi.com.

Ethicists love to talk about war and peace. Theologians regularly debate the merits of pacifism verses just-war. The biggest problem with theses conversations is just how foreign the actual experience and situation of the solider is from the debates. On the show this week is Logan Isaac and Matt Moorman from the Centurion's Guild. Matt was a friend of Tripp's from high school turned solider turned minister and friend of Logan. Logan is an Iraqi vet and a peace activist and advocate for his fellow soldiers. He's the author of Reborn on the Fourth of July: The Challenge of Faith, Patriotism & Conscience and For God and Country (In That Order): Faith and Service for Ordinary Radicals.
