Gathering 77: Killer Instinct

Published: May 6, 2019, 8 p.m.

In a world fraught with division, factions, conflicts and injustice, to what degree are you committed to nonviolence and peace? With a proposed 2020 U.S. defensive and military spending budget of $618 billion, our governance speaks volumes about where our commitment and trust lies. As Christians, it’s easy to resist violence by passively “turning the other cheek,” to say that violence has no place. However, Jesus was not about passivity. Join Pastor Tony Minear, Ph.D. for a look at how we as Christians can creatively resist violence in ways that defy reason. Ways that are culturally different and supernatural. Discover two simple practices you can follow today that resist violence yet align with your Christian values, practices that show more than just a belief in Jesus, but more accurately a complete trust in Jesus.
