Re-Centering Your Life on the Cross
We had the pleasure of hearing from Josh White, Pastor of Door of Hope Church in the heart of Portland Oregon... what a treat!
He’s going be famous really soon (and it won’t go to his head as is way too common). Seriously. He’s twice as smart as me, and that is a compliment to him. He’s relevant, edgy, compassionate and just plain brilliant. He’s writing a book, Stumbling Toward Eternity and will talk about this book and about re-centering our lives on the cross in the midst of the cultural wars that are breaking out all around us. Threatening SCOTUS members at their place of residence? Rioting pregnancy centers that are trying to help others? Jan 6, school board show downs, things people say to one another on social media, politics undermining people’s character with falsities to win votes… it’s an all out war out there.
What is the Christian to do? Now, these are my words, Todd, not Josh’s. Let’s let him speak and inform us from his perspective. He’s lived in the real world, endured some pretty crazy hardships in life, invited the heart of Portland into his church, and through it all, speaks a language that people understand and want to hear. He’s the only guy I know who can quote Nietzsche and Jesus in the same sentence. I have not met a guy like him, ever. He’s going to be a voice for our current generation and will train and raise up the next generation of leaders. Mark my words.
