The purpose of the Christian Life is walking toward the surprisingly better life with others; not only with other believers, but with those who are far from God. To be clear, walking with Jesus means walking into places and relationships that are often uncomfortable. And, to do so, means walking in patience and great humility while also requiring a deep trust in the powerful and transformative gospel of Jesus.  When we are discipled in the words and ways of Jesus, we will - like Him - become courageous influencers.
