Part 2 – Transformation = truth + good choices + power | This statement sounds true and is widely accepted in most church circles today. What if I told you that is not the formula for transformation?

Are a lot of Christian communities strong and connected, or weak and shallow? If we are honest with ourselves, I think we will answer the latter to both questions. Why?
What if the elders in our communities were true elders and were able to handle criticism and rejection, speak the truth in love even when it is not easy or popular, serve without being appreciated, encourage needed growth and change, and create Identity, not standards?
