Countering Darkness

Darkness is potent in many neighborhoods of Baltimore, where violence, poverty, addiction, and corruption, is an everyday reality that can weigh heavily on the soul. 

In this second episode on the theme of intentional living, Joel, Eric, and Stephanie, share some of the reasons why they have come, committed to, and continued to counter darkness in a Christ-like manner. In having hearts grieved by sin, there is opportunity to trust that God is the only one who ultimately saves and redeems. There is a privilege in praying for the souls of those forgotten by others, in being reminded that we are all in need of the same savior. Also discussed is how being on mission together, fosters humility, combats individualism, and forces us to acknowledge that God is for radical grace, not personal ease.
