Radical Waiting
Description
You can be radical for many reasons; radical means either getting down to the core of something or extreme. You can be a radical (extreme) fan of a football team. Discipleship means following Jesus and it can be extreme as Jesus said “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” Your agenda is submitted under Jesus’s way. Also, you have to do this every day which is also extreme: the essence of following Jesus. Last week I asked,
“What are you
avoiding?” when we talked about radical courage.
This week I have two questions to ponder:
What are you waiting for?
Whom are you waiting on?
As parents we are always waiting: Every-day waiting can be in the doctors, at stoplights, for a spouse to get ready, for a kid to get out of the bathroom. But there are bigger things to wait for: a spouse, a job, money, depression to go away, an ailment to go away. Waiting can be daily and ordinary and it can also be big and dramatic.

Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other Village leaders open the Scriptures as the witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our lives. Scripture gives us more than abstract ideas. It is the Word of God, given to form us, confront us, comfort us, and teach us how to follow Jesus.
Each episode invites us to listen and respond. We are learning to understand the Bible more faithfully; we are also learning how to live as God’s renewed people.
Week by week, our pastors and leaders talk about the practices of Christian discipleship, including prayer, fasting, generosity, Scripture memory, worship, and life together. These practices belong to a whole life formed around Jesus.
The podcast also speaks to ordinary places where faith is lived; our relationships, finances, habits, struggles, joys, and decisions. The gospel speaks to what we believe. It also teaches us how to live in the present age as people who belong to the kingdom of God.
