“I’d wager that our problem is not a theology problem, though plenty of that exists. Further, our problem isn’t that we don’t have enough evangelism, church planting, or missional outreach initiatives. Our problem, at its core, is an identity problem. We have self-proclaimed Christians who lack clarity on what it means to be in Christ and for Christ to be in them. Worse yet, many lack the understanding of who Christ has invited them to become through the cross, resurrection, and the transformative power of His Spirit. There is an unhealthy fixation on what God must want us to do rather than on who God wants us to become.” — K. Lee Brown
