dc.description.abstract | <p>My ministry project is comprised of a literature review and Appreciative
Inquiry qualitative study at First Reformed Church to explore the practices and
skills needed to live against idolatry and toward faithfulness.</p>
<p>The thesis of my ministry project is that we are surrounded by idols in our
communities and in the local church, and must find ways of developing patterns
of resistance against the powers that entice us into idolatry. The purpose of my
project is to identify practices that will equip and empower the church to resist
idolatry and live in faithfulness toward God. The findings of my project will
amplify how Christian worship and mission, fueled by Holy Spirit power, are a
vital means by which patterns of faithfulness are cultivated and resistance to
idolatry and the powers are developed.</p> | en_US |
