Abstract:
As Christians, we all want change in the world. But we don't just aim at change-we aim at faithfulness and out of faithfulness comes fruitfulness. Moving beyond theory, activist Ben Lowe renews our mission with key postures, practices and real-life examples of what it looks like to persevere in faithful activism and advocacy today.
