Powers, wrestled with
Ephesians 6, structures that we struggle against:
Powerlessness: blindness, apathy, satisfaction, worldliness, things that neutralize power & activity.
Prisons: bondages that lock you in
Patterns of behavior that use you as fuel for cycles of relational damage, where people give and receive pain, preying on each other
Power structures, where people prey on others and multiply evil control, domination, oppression of many
Pervasive spiritual wickedness: cultural systems promoting long-term sustained evil behavior
Redemption & Resilience is about helping communities build spiritually healthy, redemptive disciplines, structures of justice, and pervasive spiritual holiness and righteousness.
Jesus never advocated military action.
He was less concerned about political powers and more with spiritual powers.
Roundup
What happened to the unreached this week?
Each Friday I send a newsletter to over 2,400 mission activists, advocates, managers, field workers, and pastors - about what happened among the unreached, and what could happen next. Each issue comes with a curated list of nearly 100 links, and note why each is important. You can get on the list for free.
