The Parrhesians
The Greek word is parrhesia" means “forthright truth-telling.” One who speaks with parrhesia doesn’t flatter, manipulate, or use rhetorical tricks. He doesn’t massage or bend the truth, and he doesn’t hedge. He’s confident truth is on his side, and he takes moral responsibility for speaking it. Join Kyle Bennett, Peter Chace and Nate Devlin as they offer bold truth and discuss how to be the church in a world possessed by lies.

What Is the Point of My Salvation?
“People's lives come to ruin not because they pursue intrinsically evil states, but because they prize lower goods to the neglect of higher goods.” Byron I. Bitar, Classical Christian Worldview: Ethics
Worship is job number one. But that viewpoint is not shared by the therapeutic church, which endeavors to make us feel good, nor by the missional church, which seeks to repopulate the church and perpetuate itself. The worshipping church, however, seeks to glorify God and have a people formed after the image of Christ.
Such formation doesn’t always feel good, it's not always convenient and it’s rarely pragmatic, but the highest good for every Christian is a relationship with Jesus Christ. Having a relationship with Jesus means regular and frequent worship of Christ, which brings us into greater and greater conformity to Christ.
So join Nate, Peter, and Kyle as they boldly proclaim what the point of our salvation really is.
