It is no secret that many people today struggle to see the value of religion. They fail to see the concrete ways that religion shapes our world.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ changed the world. The power of his victory conquered darkness, sin, and death. And at the same time it summoned all of us to give our greatness to this greatest of causes – to bring the victory of Christ present to our societies and cultures. In this final presentation of the Gospel’s summons to leadership I’d like to meditate on the power of that resurrection.
