INTERVIEW WITH STEVE BELL

Steve expresses concern about our future and makes suggestions in line with a pretty grim forecast. Is his view of our future—and how to prepare for it according to Acts 2 principles—in line with your view? If you think his speculations are too bleak, what preparations would you suggest?
What does it mean to have a resilient community?
In a follow-up conversation with Jesse, Steve contrasts activism with a more centrist approach. What are your thoughts on the two approaches? Which approach do you think is more effective?
Steve talks about how we continue to fight evil even though we know it will continue to “pop up” until the new creation has begun. How do we keep our energy to address evil, and not just wait for the resurrection when our efforts sometimes seem to make so little difference?

Resilience for the church to come
