1. A large percentage of these men and women have been sexually abused and are operating out of a place of deep wounding. They’re living “in spiritual darkness.” Some may be at war with God, and others are genuinely struggling with their identity, but by and large, they’ve all been hurt.

2. These are ones who didn’t start out life saying, “I’m going to hate God.” They had horrible things happen to them, and they need to understand that “every single life out there can be redeemed.” But your voice and your life can show other people how they can be redeemed and restored through Jesus. Because Jesus does it.

3. Speaking the truth in love is important, but our lives also need to reflect the evidence of it. When we try to tell somebody, ‘Hey, that’s not God’s plan for your life.’ And if you’re not living something that’s obviously better, they’re going to be like, ‘Yeah, whatever.’

4. Too many Christians seem to have a “let’s-get-in-the-bunker-now approach.” It’s time for the grown-ups to enter the room and remind everyone: Christians aren’t supposed to be in the bunker. “We need to get out. And how do we get out? Well, we take the gospel literally to the streets.”

5. This is a movement that, by and large, is at “war with God.” In other words, this is a tough crowd. And we need to endure being spit on and sworn at and yelled at. Don’t be afraid to be mocked. Do you not think your Lord was mocked?

There’s more if you can bear the brainwashing.
