Over the next 2 years, we want to walk with the Exodus Road in expanding their investigations in Southeast Asia into the Philippines. They are developing an after-care pilot program called “Beyond Rescue” aimed at young women and men who are over 18 and want to leave the sex industry but have few options.

As believers, we already have a King. As we make decisions, we must remember that His Kingdom is independent of the ups and downs of this nation. So how do we approach voting in a Kingdom-centered way?

Shifting to &, not Or gives us the ability to hold two things that seem in conflict. It allows politics to become discipleship when we express our position on an issue in a way that reflects Christ.

We often get trapped by false choices - we’re constantly told we have to pick a side. But, it's okay to see things on both sides that reflect Scripture. Jesus refused to be put in a box by choosing a side. He let the Kingdom rather than the question drive His answers.

As believers, we want to be driven by the Kingdom and the Gospel in how we interact with our world… including politics. We must let Scripture anchor us rather than a political party's platform, and we must remember that our security is ultimately found in the Lord.

We can't do it alone. We need fellow believers alongside us as we seek the purposes of God and chase after the Kingdom together. Are we seeking relationships that are centered around what God is calling us to?

To have victory, we have to receive what we don't have from the God who loves us. We have to be vulnerable, for His power is made perfect in weakness. Being vulnerable and admitting our shame and brokenness lets us embrace our new identity in Christ.

The Kingdom is coming. God is at work all around us. We can be part of that work by displaying the Kingdom through who we are and who God created us to be in the world.

It’s easy to anchor our identity in what we do, what we have, and what we desire. But that is not all of who we are. How can we hold on to the security of having a primary identity rooted in Christ? An identity that is not dependent on our performance or the season of life we're in.

Identity. Victory. Kingdom. Partners. We are focusing on these four words as we pursue Kingdom culture. We believe this Kingdom is worth leveraging everything we have to pursue, and we hope you’ll embrace that lifestyle with us!
