Surge Network

Surge is a network that exists to help equip leaders in all fields and vocations to live as sent people to bless our broken world.

Can’t wait to be with my friends and colleagues at @mtcphx and the @SurgeNetwork later this week to talk together about the structures of congregational outreach and the roles of elders, deacons and other Jesus-followers in the redemptive drama playing out on our local stages.

Meditating on the prophetic word Bishop Dr. Jackie L. Green gave last night: “The Lord says to the Church in Arizona [the] Awakening shall ruffle the feathers of the religious, the racist, and the political systems, that war for the identity of the state.” https://t.co/KawEjEpah8

In the podcast, John talks about how he is stewarding his power as he confronts the vast inequities between those who grow and cultivate coffee beans and those who ultimately benefit from the final product.

This concept is central to this week’s episode featuring John Onwuchekwa with Portrait Coffee. As part of the Surge Network’s Faith, Work & Rest Podcast, CTC’s Global Faith & Work Initiative (GFWI) is sponsoring 6 episodes on how faith & work intersects with mercy & justice.

In this video, Kimberly Deckel encourages us to think about how we steward our power and influence to better serve those in our places of work who have less power than us or have been pushed to the margins.

"Power should be shared and used to protect the most vulnerable because that's what Jesus did." - @DrCEdmondson

We had the privilege of having guest speaker Dr. Edmondson talk about how we as Christ’s Church might reimagine what healthy church discipline should look like.

[City to City @RedeemerCTC]

Let’s take another look at this first episode and consider Kimberly’s question: How might we form communities in our work places and industries that collectively embody justice, mercy and faith through our work? Listen to full podcast here: https://t.co/S8NtFGnT85

Move at the speed of the Spirit, not the speed of crisis, opportunity, or money. The Spirit’s speed is always slow enough to ensure spaciousness for depth of relationship.
