An excellent post by Sam Storms, giving concrete examples to help us understand exactly what Peter is commanding against when he tells pastors not to be domineering. Here are a few especially important examples of domineering: A pastor domineers by widening the alleged gap between “clergy” and “laity.” In other words, he reinforces in them […]

When Christians Have Power
An excellent talk by Andy Crouch on the true meaning of power from the Q Conference. Here’s a key quote: “Power is for flourishing. Who is flourishing because you have power?” That’s worth asking.
Is There a Relationship Between Stewarding the Environment and Ending Extreme Poverty?
Live58 is a movement to end extreme poverty in our generation.
