In Everyday Revolutionary, pastor and bible teacher J.D. Greear draws on insights from the book of Daniel to show how followers of Jesus are called to live a "revolutionary" life that often runs counter to the ways of the world. He reveals how disciples of Jesus are instructed to embody certain core identities and how those identities lead to them exhibiting five core practices in their everyday lives. These identities and practices—when truly embodied in this way—enable every follower of Jesus to live the life that he desired them to lead in spite of their circumstances or culture in which they live.Employing solid biblical truth, compelling stories, and a prophetic voice, J.D. reveals the roles and responsibilities that can make every person a revolutionary disciple—a faithful follower of Jesus in a hostile culture. Participants will discover how to put these key practices into action:How to fulfill the creative purpose for which they were madeHow to pursue excellence in whatever they endeavor to doHow to reflect holiness with the little things in a critical worldHow to display reconciliation with equity and fairnessHow to advance God's mission in a global and technological ageEveryday Revolutionary provides the perspective and encouragement that every follower of Christ needs to impact every area of their lives. Whether they are age-old believers or just getting started in the faith—or struggling with a situation or just anxious about one that is coming—this modern way of taking the ancient path outlined in the book of Daniel will enliven all of their days.Watch on any device!Streaming video access included.
