How (not) to save the world

Mobilizing a generation for the gospel, Hosanna Wong offers a myth-busting approach to explain how God uses our unique abilities, positions, and relationships to help us become all that we were made for. As Christians we've been given a purpose and a mission: to love God, love others, and tell the world about Jesus. But how do we live it out? With honesty and humor, spoken word poet and preacher Hosanna Wong opens our eyes to see how we've been tricked into believing lies that hold us back from living out our purpose and sharing our faith with the people around us. We feel unqualified and uncertain, so we fall into the multiple traps laid out by the Enemy-traps such as hiding our faith, waiting for perfect, or always flying solo. This is how not to save the world. God has a better plan. Hosanna reminds us, "Your details are your superpowers!" She explains that God created each of us with unique characteristics and abilities and placed us in circumstances with people whose best view of Jesus is through knowing us. And it's not impressiveness or superiority but rather everyday authenticity, integrity, and community that will help us point the world to Jesus. In the end, we are freed to be ourselves and to discover that we really are part of how God intends to save the world
