Impact Manifesto

Sun, 23 Nov 2008 08:30:00 +0000

Impact Manifesto

Impact Manifesto: We are Social Visionaries, Missionaries, Culture Shapers, and Spiritual Antagonists compelled to make a transforming impact on our world for Christ�s sake. As Missionaries we are spiritual archeologists who excavate the ancient God from the ruins of past pain, present fear, and future hopes. We have the Social Vision to see sacred potential in the, �so called�, secular places, spaces, and people. As Culture Shapers we socially sculpt art, philosophy, humanities, and the music of our world. Our movement is not an alternative pond that is isolated from the world. It is an influent stream that boldly runs through it to lovingly shape culture. As Spiritual Antagonists we antagonize the hell out of humanity as silent activist. Our lives are a living representation of the change we want to influence.

Impact Manifesto Documentaries: We brought our impact manifesto to life through four videos that feature community members and partners who make our mission possible. Look to the right upper corner of the page and watch our impact incarnate.

New Thematic Series: Letters

Letters: Rewriting Relationships lost in Raggedy Rules and Rituals

Love in Relationships is the most meaningful part of being a human. Relationships of every kind make life more real and true and strong. Colors become clearer, smell more satisfying, and tastes richer, when Love and relationships collide. The weird part about it is that while they are more meaningful than anything they are also more fragile. They are the fortified iron frame that holds our world together and also the fragile flower that is sensitive to the touch.

You would think that something so complex and often would drive us away from them but there is something in us that craves relationships. We crave them more than we do food or water. A strained relationship can take away your appetite for food because you are so hungry for reconciliation in a relationship gone bad.

We are desperately in need of some direction on how to relate to one another because rusty rules and raggedy rituals are eroding the iron ruining the beauty of God�s mission for how humanity does life together.

Come boldly if you dare because this series will sooth us where we are broken, and Break us where we are satisfied, comfort us where we are upset, and upset us where we are comfortable, and also pick us up where we have fallen, and push us forward where you have taken a stance on who we will and won�t forgive.

We will hear how we may redefine our relationships and rewrite our understanding based on the John 3:16 inspiration that God shared with humanity. This thematic movement is about redefining our understanding of every kind of relationship that we have with each other.
