We live in a world that increasingly teaches us to fight. Fight for influence. Fight for success. Fight for control. Fight against people who see the world differently. And while some things are worth fighting for, we’ve become so accustomed to approaching life as a battle that we may have forgotten another way to live.
What if Jesus and the early church offer us a way of life that looks radically different from the fear, hostility, and endless battles of our fractured culture? What if, instead of fighting to control the world around us, we could help cultivate something beautiful wherever we find ourselves — in our communities, our workplaces, our homes, and even within ourselves?
Not culture warriors. Culture gardeners.
What if we could stop fighting for control and start cultivating what matters?
