Overview
This practical guide helps you find peace and clarity as you learn healthy, biblical ways to love your community well while navigating a confusing world.
Questions come up every day that make us feel like outsiders: How do I react when my child's teacher claims there are hundreds of genders? What do I say when my best friend calls me a Marxist because I'm troubled by systemic racism? How do I talk with my mom when she posts conspiracy theories on Facebook--or to my coworker who says all Christians are bigots?
It's understandable that you want to relieve the tension. You could change your beliefs to fit in. You could rage against your enemies to force them to agree with you. Or you could simply retreat from it all. But these options leave you feeling more angry, confused, and cowardly--and less like Christ.
In Joyful Outsiders, pastors Patrick Miller and Keith Simon offer six biblical ways to navigate your everyday life with wisdom and grace from within the tension. Drawing on the examples of biblical exiles and introducing six types of joyful outsiders (artist, protestor, builder, advisor, ambassador, and trainer), Joyful Outsiders helps you find:
- Clarity about your unique calling in culture
- Freedom from fear and anger
- Reassurance that you are not alone
- Joy in discovering your God-given status as an outsider
- A clear way to both resist and cultivate the world around you
You might feel like an outsider in today's world, but the truth is that you have a meaningful, God-given role in our disorienting culture. God wants to guide you into your calling, train you for action, and equip you to become a confident, Christlike culture changer.
