In The Equipping Group’s “Redeeming Politics” course, Kaitlyn Schiess helped redefine “politics” from today’s common perception. She helps us rightly see politics as a concept that was created by God, and that has become broken because of sin, but that can be hopeful because in Christ, God is reconciling all things to himself. Because of Jesus’ work, there can be restoration — in part now and more fully in eternity — even in the realm of politics! In light of that renewed view of politics, we can see politics through the lens of the story of God.

That’s God’s heart for multiplication, from Genesis 1 and still today!

As we step into 2025, the dawn of a new year in our culture is an invitation to dream, plan, and set new goals. As a leader in the church and God's kingdom, I have found this cultural rhythm to be a good opportunity to prayerfully consider what God may desire to do in my life. Whether you embrace these things as a leader or really dislike the trend of new year's goal setting, a new year can still feel both exciting and daunting. 

If you walk into any Catholic church, you will see the anguished, bloody, broken body of Christ hanging from a cross for people to contemplate and grieve. Wander around any cathedral and you will discover provocative artwork hanging on the walls that depict the colorless, lifeless body of Jesus being peeled off the cross by the embrace of St. John and the women who had loved and been loved so deeply by Christ. Perhaps one of the unintended consequences of the historical schism between Catholics and Protestants has been a lost Christian practice of regularly gazing at the dying or dead body of Jesus. Much of American Christianity proclaims a Christ-less cross. While there are theological reasons for the empty cross, I wonder if our churches are ironically avoiding an invitation to behold the crucifixion of Jesus, distorting our capacity to see and love the suffering of the world.

What if every church followed God’s leading in sending, and were willing to pray and give away our finances, and even our best leaders?

What if we could do so, not in our church’s 20th or 200th year of existence, but in its second year?
And what if we could at least start down that path, not when we have 200 or 2000 people engaged, but when we have 20 people?
