Part 2 of a discussion around the rock of offense.  Practical tools for Christian living 

Jesus was the most offensive figure in history.  Never a name has stirred up the masses like the name of Jesus.  He maintained an offensive mindset throughout his ministry and refused to be on the defense... even when put on trial.  

Here we share a transparent and vulnerable dialogue on the deconstruction of religious beliefs and why it is important to consider everything in light of scriptural truth in context.  

We enjoyed a great discussion on the difference between faith and hope and how to apply each to our daily lives.  Then we dive into an analogy from a Harvard study and mice.

We have limited time in a day, a week, a year... in this life.  To try and force feed leadership development upon someone who isn't coachable may not be good stewardship of our time.  In this episode, we cover some keys from scripture on choosing the right leaders to invest in.  We can have the right, "why", the right "what", but the wrong "who" and miss the mark in developing leaders. 

Anthony & Jamie reflect on a model of discipleship fresh off the pages of the Gospels and the first century church.  Jesus demonstrated a beautiful and practical model for discipleship that we can model after today.  It may be a little radical in today's time, but it is very practical, a little scary, but a lot of fun.  Enjoy.  

Continuing the discussion on Leadership Pipeline.  We covered the "Why" last week and this week we'll go into the reasons we don't prioritize a Leadership Pipeline.
