Strength to Strength
Strength to Strength offers resources that will strengthen your obedient love-faith relationship with King Jesus and give you solid footing in a shaky world. VISION: Inspire flourishing communities of faithful Jesus-followers around the world. MISSION: Advance Jesus’ kingdom by assisting the church in earnestly contending for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints, through tackling thought-provoking topics, by stimulating candid discussions, and by sharing faith-building testimonies. ACTION: We do this by providing multimedia resources including podcasts, videos, and books, and by pointing people to local communities of believers. Our speakers and writers are supportive of a Christ-centered, kingdom-focused, Scripture-based way of life, specifically as modeled by the Anabaptist tradition. However, we will sell books not written by kingdom Christians when they are able to share a unique or challenging perspective. In engaging with any of our resources we encourage you to be a Berean.

Prayer causes the work...

Strength to Strength welcomed Paul Lamicela to explore the place that the kingdom of God has within the Scripture.
Sometimes we use “kingdom” as a buzzword, perhaps paired with a few prooftexts from the Gospels. But what did Jesus really mean when he proclaimed that the “kingdom of God” was at hand? Hint: we have to dig into the Old Testament to get the full picture. And doing so will bring a richer, deeper, mo...
