Two Thirds of 18-29 year-olds who grew up in the church have left. Why? We gave them everything expect the presence of God. An assist from Jim Samra, lead pastor of Calvary Church in Grand Rapids, MI. Then if Perry could give drivers in Michigan (himself included) one thing; it would be the patience not to ride the bumper on the car in front of us. Next, the only gift that will satisfy our deepest longings this Christmas is the living presence of Jesus. Then, God is not a doctrine, a philosophy, a force, a theology textbook. He’s a person to be experienced, to be encountered. Jim Samra shares how he experienced God in college—God taught him Calculus. And finally, what does it look like that the Word of God who created the universe became a human being? It looks like a man trying figure out how to rescue birds in a winter storm.
