i think god does make us for great things, and we needto always kind of be challenged by that. But i also think that great things come in small packages. And just wherever you are, there's so much ordinarinesst that if we don't learn how to meet jesus,. We're never going to be content with kind of the daily grind of the christian life.
Have you noticed that words like “extreme” and “revolutionary” have ironically become part of our “ordinary” vocabulary, even in the world of contemporary Christianity? We’re constantly being encouraged to “transform the world,” to pursue “radical discipleship,” or simply to do “big things for Jesus.” But what is the cost of this continual use of superlatives? The hosts, with the help of Tish Harrison Warren, discuss this issue and point to a recovery of “ordinary discipleship” in a world of hype (originally aired 09-01-13).
