Our world is constantly shifting, changing, and moving away from Christianity. This post-Christian culture feels bleak and full of hopelessness for the next generation and future of our congregations. Yet, the current generations are not the first to have faced this struggle.
Rev. Dr. R. Lee Hagan brings you 12 different stories and reflections that address the hopelessness and struggle in today's churches. Each chapter ends with discussion questions to guide your understanding and come to your own conclusions. Faithful, Hopeful, and Bold is perfect for church leaders to find spiritual encouragement and strengthen the faith in their own congregations. Return to the Word and see how you can find footing to be faithful, hopeful, and bold in your faith through the Holy Spirit.
"Hope is a precious gift of God for all of us who are part of Christ's church. We live each day in the hope that was given to us in our Baptism and that continually fills us as the Gospel is preached and as we receive Christ's body and blood. The Gospel is God's antidote to despair, and it fills us with hope that is sure and certain." -page 9
