Catalyst Track: The Heist // Day Two

This video track comes from a conversation between Chris Durso and Erwin McManus about Chris’ new book, The Heist.

What if we began to see Jesus’ death and resurrection as “the greatest cat-burglary in human history?” Because while onlookers thought he was just “being crucified, he was actually decimating our chains of shame and robbing hell of its captives.”

Erwin asks, has there ever been a greater crime committed?

In this three-day track, Chris and Erwin talk about how Jesus’ “crime” not only frees us of our shame, but allows the shame of past experiences to strengthen us in our contexts today.

Are you ready for a fresh perspective on the grace extended to you and victory won for you? Are you ready to cast off the chains of shame that hinder your leadership and relationships? If so, take time this week to dive into this track and complete the reflection and challenge questions at the end of each day.

Day 2 – Preparation

 

“What prepared him to lead in the spiritual context was what he learned in the secular context.” – Erwin McManus

Erwin draws on the example of Moses to demonstrate how God can use whatever backgrounds we have to serve His kingdom. While you may have felt shame from your past choices, your lack of knowledge, or your brokenness, God can use those things to strengthen you in your leadership now!

 

REFLECTION:
