About this listen
Luca Lewis is done with church. It killed his father, and now he wants nothing to do with the whole thing. Yet, he can’t seem to shake the unwanted conviction his father planted deep in his soul: that maybe something else is possible–something much more important.
Dr. Jimmy Norris is struggling to lead LifePointe, a waning, suburban Atlanta megachurch. He sees the church desperately needs to change, but clambering after new gimmicks just doesn’t cut it anymore, and the crushing shadow of his politically powerful father is ever-present. Without courageous leadership, LifePointe is finished. And so is Jimmy’s future.
And Yushua Maalouf, a Yemeni refugee betrayed by his family for his newfound faith finds himself bewildered as he encounters the priorities of the North American church. On Yemeni soil, he experienced a selfless and unstoppable faith community. But can he see what his heart deeply craves in his newly adopted homeland? When these three lives unexpectedly cross, Luca and Jimmy are given a rare moment to see Jesus’ church in a whole new way. But will they see past the scars and status of a refugee to the divine opportunity that stands squarely in front of them?
Missiologist and author Jeff Christopherson weaves seven common temptations drawing the Western church away from its disciple-making, calling into a compelling story of three very different men. Each with something essential to see. And each given a call to a different way.
