This podcast is the first of four in a series on the works that have had the greatest impact on Senior Associate Pastor Rocky Supinger’s faith — Heretics and Orthodoxy by British novelist and essayist Gilbert Keith Chesterton.

This evening we reflect on how Chesterton’s writings were about the kind of outlook on life that faith should give us — a life of purpose. The Lord didn’t really give the disciples a detailed process for doing that or insist on a metric of efficiency. Rather, he gave us an aim to pursue, a wild, seemingly unattainable aim. The strength of our faith will be measured, then, in our commitment to that aim — not in spite of the aim’s grandiosity, but because of it.
