For decades, the most common approach to evangelism has been to start with separation through sin. But that starts the Gospel at Genesis 3, not Genesis 1:1. Creating and operating through a "Pre-Fall" gospel message not only offers an inspirational story of truly "Great News," but produces a powerful bridge into culture.

Too often, Christians are content with the "God said it, I believe it, and that settles it," approach to faith, and their interaction with culture. REThinker aims to transform that mindset, uncovering deeper and richer insights and understanding when we start to ask the WHY questions.

Once we uncover the differences between knowledge and wisdom, we discover the vital and transformative power of "understanding." Understanding is not only the bridge between the intended and the broken, but it is truly, "Strategies of Heaven that change Earth."

For millennia, the church has attacked people for their actions, but fail to understand how God is concerned with OUTCOMES. More than just a paradigm shift in thought, focusing on outcomes becomes a huge cultural bridge between the church and the culture, and the objective and the subjective.

So how do we effectively engage culture in a manner that resonates with the masses? It begins with a deeper understanding of the vast differences between wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Are you a man or woman of UNDERSTANDING? Listen to these two podcasts to discover the answer.

Jesus calls us, as Christians, "salt." You have probably heard a sermon or two that scratches the surface of this metaphor. But mining the concept deeper presents a far richer and more responsible picture of who we are called to be, where we are called to go, and how we are called to serve.

There are many that consider the God of the Bible not only irrelevant, but also a cruel, petty, unjust bully. Much of these beliefs stem out of the commandments that God gave to His people. But stepping into the realm of software programming, we discover that God's laws were never about man's restriction, instead God was recoding the world BACK to man's freedom.

After nine podcasts, I thought I'd pause for a moment and describe the intent here. I want you to develop and practice a new "Strategy of Sight." Remember the MAGIC EYE prints of the 1990s? Poster art that looked like nothing but abstract dots and lines - until you used the right "Strategy of Sight" to discover what its creators had wanted you to see all along? What if God designed existence using a similar formula? What if the Creator WANTS us to push past the surface abstractions and discover what has been there all along?

Christians often see amazing parallels to their faith in the first Matrix movie. But when we combine this PreFall/PostFall understanding, God's divine nature and intent, and the life of Jesus and His declarations, we uncover just how much Jesus "recoded" the system, and unveil His calling for us to finish the mission He started.

Many people today are trying to change biblical concepts by syncing their thoughts to modern day assumptions. But surprisingly, going to back to many words' Hebrew roots uncovers just how relevant our faith is to our modern times and our modern culture. Such is the case with the terms, "Good and Evil."
