Our job is to preach christ and him crucified. But if we start with the wrong goal, to have more butts in the pews, as opposed to to preach to the ears that are there to hear,. we're going to go south in one way or another. We ended the last episode on faith, hope and love.

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.
