Discover why real transformation happens when leaders have the courage to journey with people into their sorrow and bring the hope of Christ to the places of deepest pain.
Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Andrew Root in Ep. 270, Evangelism as Consolation:
"What we really need, what people yearn for, is someone who will journey with them into their sorrow and to proclaim and witness to a Jesus Christ who is present in sorrow."
THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
- Leaders embody the gospel by journeying with people into their pain and sorrow.
- Churches bring transformation by listening to and addressing the pain of their neighbors.
- Faithful leadership means grieving alongside others while holding on to hope.
- Evangelism becomes good news when we accompany others in their sorrow, not just share inspiring visions.
- Congregations foster trust and transformation by walking with people through loss and change.
