Christian

Speaker: Andy Stanley
Length: 8 Parts

Explore the truth and fiction behind one of the most famous brands in history.

Part 1: “Brand Recognition”

"Christian" is a brand that can be attractive or repelling. But where did the word come from? Reexamine the word "Christian" and revisit the one thing Jesus wanted his followers to be known for.

Part 2: “Quitters”

The words used to describe Christians today often bear no resemblance to the one word Jesus wanted his followers to be known for. Be challenged to change the reputation of Christianity by becoming a follower characterized by this one thing.

Part 3: “Insiders, Outsiders”

Without intending to, Christianity won the West. It toppled the Roman Empire. And it did so without raising a sword. Learn the secret to the success of Christianity and where the modern Church has possibly gone wrong.

Part 4: “Showing Up”

The early Christians in Rome had it tough. They were persecuted and blamed for crimes they didn't commit. In this message, discover the influence we may not even know we have as Christians.

Part 5: “When Gracie Met Truthy”

The people Jesus loved were messy. The way Jesus loved was messy. His disciples often struggled to understand his extraordinary love.

Part 6: “Angry Birds”

Jesus embodied both grace and truth. It's easy to be a church of truth or a church of grace, to be conservative or liberal. But when churches take either of those routes, there is a sense that something is wrong, that something's missing.

Part 7: “Loopholes”

Looking for loopholes comes naturally. Jesus had a new perspective for the Jewish culture.

Part 8: “Working It Out”

The person you are has been shaped by those who have loved you and those who have hurt you. Jesus understood this so well that his most urgent command to his disciples was about how they should treat each other.
