  • John Burke Interviewed on Hill Country Institute Live

    "If the Church is not seeing people go from lost to leading; if we can't see that happening, then the reality is the Church is dying. It may take 70 years, but it's going to die." We have to be about loving people as Christ loved them - where they are but helping them not stay as they are. John Burke, lead pastor of Gateway Church in Austin, Texas, talked with Larry on Hill Country Institute Live about the importance of Christ's followers being on mission with Him every day, wherever they are. Having perfect apologetics and eloquently convincing arguments is not what people in this Post-Christian culture are looking for. It's not about the message we present or the reasons we give; it's about our attitude towards people that woos them. "People can intuitively sense how we feel about them, and that actually makes the biggest difference of all."

A challenge to the secularism that is now assumed, with no significant evaluation, to be the height of intellectual respectability and that dominates the most elevated and most inclusive levels of higher education. From there, it pervades professional, social and official life in our world, with effects that severely diminish human aspirations.

    A Rocha builds international, cross-cultural teams to do scientific research, provide environmental education, and work on projects and activities related to caring for creation as God does. Their practical conservation activities give them credibility in the conservation world. While A Rocha is distinctively Christian, they choose not to speak exclusively to Christian audiences, so their work is showing God's love for ALL creation, including all people. Four distinctives which characterize A Rocha are: 1) their conviction thatChrist is Lord; 2) practical action; 3) credible advocacy; and 4)diversity of cultures. Often, it is the poor who suffer first when the environment is damaged, so A Rocha believes the environment is an issue of justice. They also encourage Christians to be involved in conservation out of obedience, hope, and love. A Rocha is Portugese for "The Rock", giving acolorful double meaning of Christ the Rock and bringing a Christianapproach to creation care. In the interview, Larry, Peter, Miranda Harris, and Carson Dickie discuss the organization's approach to community building and support of local methods in the context of projects in locals as varied as Ghana, Portugal, and a ranch in Texas.
