“Chain yourself to the idea of hope... Each of us has to find hope even in hopeless situations. If we only focus on the hopelessness, we’ll never get out of bed in the morning.” -Christine Caine
We live in a world that can feel hopeless. But when I interviewed Christine Caine during the Beyond the Summit Webinar I was encouraged by her perspective. We have one life found in Christ. It’s that simple. As leaders, somewhere along the lines we might have lost hope but Christine’s message is a powerful reminder that our hope is Jesus. That’s important enough to restate: Our hope is Jesus.
Think of a wheel- imagine Jesus as the hub of that wheel and the various roles that we play as the spokes in the wheel. In Christine's mind, she never stops being any of the things that she is called to- follower of Jesus, mother, speaker, writer, and leader of Equip & Empower Ministries and The A21 Campaign. In the words of Christine, “God requires us (our lives) to be a witness to the truth.”
How do you keep Jesus as the center of your wheel?

I signed up for the Jeff Manion webinar but now have to be on the road so I will miss it. When I inquired last week how to get a CD of his message at the Summit I was told it would be available this week on the website. But I can't find it on the resourses page (only his book is listed). Is it available and how can I order one? Thanks for your help!
ReplyDeleteSorry you will miss Jeff Mainon's webinar. After the webinar, we'll post an audio download (of the webinar) on this page:

ReplyDeleteIs there anything anyone at WCA or WCCC can do to address and provide some teaching/leadership/direction on the current issue with the Mosque in NYC that is prevelant in the news right now? It's greatly disturbing and saddens me to see the rhetoric, hate, and misunderstanding that is coming out in the name of the church and Christianity against peaceful muslims and this issue. Not to mention the stir now created by the President's remarks now drumming up even more of this. Yet I haven't seen any strong teaching or direction in the public eye coming out regarding this issue and how we should navigate it as Christians. This is becoming a hot bed issue and I hate to see how it is being communicated against by certain sects of the Christian community. Just wondering. Thanks!
