In this episode of the Things above podcast, James Bryan Smith chats with author and pastor J.R. Briggs about a glorious thought that changed the trajectory of his life. Briggs offers a two-fold answer. First, it was the present availability of the kingdom of God and eternal living. The second thought centers on what it means to be a missionary in our everyday lives – to be a missionary cleverly disguised as a good neighbor. This has a critical connection to the message and activity of the local church. Briggs believes if Monday through Saturday is not impacted by our Christian living, then we should start to re-think how we are “doing church” on Sunday and the kind of gospel we’re communicating.
