Great week learning about why we as Christians need to understand the world and what our role is in this world. Sometimes we put God "in a box" but we need to let him out. We put God in a box because of our denomination, culture, upbringing, wounds, etc.
YWAM is more than just missions. They have a goal of touching the seven spheres of society Family, Religion, Business/Science, Education, Media, Celebration.
There were a lot of great takeaways from this week - I will list just a few of them and share with you a couple of videos we watched. I really encourage you to watch the videos - they are really interesting and will give you a new perspective of leadership, our brain, purpose in life and education!!!!
* Every place has needs -education, truth, love, food. We can help to meet these needs. If you see hungry people, feed them. Don't just tell them "Jesus loves you". Until the hunger is gone, they cannot even hear you talking.
* Everyone deserves a second chance.
* Look at everything Christian and non christian and see how God is at work in it.
* Science and Christianity and intertwined. We have to accept science - God made it all possible. If we look closely we will see God and the Holy Spirit in Science.
* Our bodies' systems are more complex than the space shuttle - certainly this didn't just "happen"!
* The worldview on Christianity is that it is single-minded and righteous. We need to change this view and build it on FORGIVENESS and LOVE!
Here are the links to the videos we watched:
P.S. The website TED.com is amazing! Great way to exercise the mind :)
