Episode Details

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 would do well to re-think how we are “doing church” on Sunday and the kind of gospel we’re communicating.
