We have in our history stories of those that came before preaching the gospel with words “like a hammer that broke the rock of human resistance” and “a fire that burned men’s hearts like grass”, yet we settle for strategies, numbers and applause. 

The Bible and Church History testify of human possibility under the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to bring dramatic, lasting change and we instead lock in to the imitation of perceived success by cultural measures. 

I believe the Lord is going to stir provocative young leaders that aren’t moved by crowds, applause, fleeting honors and well-managed systems but will yearn for everything that the Bible promises in this age to the human heart.    - David Sliker
