Eric landry, justin holcombe and bob hiller talk about the pursuit of the good life. Are churches helping or hindering people from fulfilling their god given purpose for life in this time between christ's first advent and his second coming? And how do we make them feel exactly like a loving parent when they are describing it as missionalism? We've all been tempted to do that as ministers so i'll start off optimistic on this ease.
Sometimes the church hinders our experience of the good life by packing our schedules, heaping on burdens, or trying to be cool and relevant. But the church can also help us cultivate the good life by pointing us to a kingdom that we receive—not build. In this episode of White Horse Inn, Eric Landry, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller celebrate the ordinary ministry of Word and Sacrament that leads to rest and flourishing, and they unpack how the gifts of justification and union with Christ contribute to our experience of the good life now.
