The Gospels and the rest of the epistles are something of a subtle critique of the narrative of impact. The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed, but for a relatively long amount of time, you see no results. Jesus staked his whole life on the idea that he would have very little apparent impact.
Andy Crouch returns to the podcast to question the widespread preoccupation with “making an impact.” Andy and Curtis talk about the limitations, drawbacks, and even potential idolatry involved when institutions and individuals are so focused on this definition of success. They then explore an alternative way to conceive of Christians’ role in the world, one that is rooted in the surprising model of Jesus.
