Manage episode 446301716 series 3560846
The early church thrived during times of persecution, often finding renewed strength and growth through challenges, which is relevant to today’s shifting church dynamics. In this episode of Revealing Jesus with Christina Perera, host Christina Perera is joined by Dr. John Jackson, President of Jessup University, to explore the dynamic shifts happening in the body of Christ and how these shifts are transforming how we practice our faith. Setting the stage with enriching dialogues, Christina and Dr. Jackson examine the role of grace, the impact of persecution on church growth, and the importance of fostering genuine relationships with Jesus over mere religious observance.
The conversation delves into the evolving landscape of modern Christianity, particularly among generations like Gen Z and Millennials, who are seeking authentic encounters with God rather than traditional religious programs. Throughout the discussion, Dr. Jackson shares insights on how the church can adapt to these changing needs, emphasizing the potential for discipleship in everyday settings—whether through small groups, technology, or social interactions outside conventional church environments. The episode underscores the church’s need to harness each generation’s unique contributions to reveal Jesus in today's world effectively.
