This article from The Christian Post titled “How 'The Forge' aims to reignite Church’s mission of discipleship in fatherless generation” highlights “The Forge” movie, which hit theaters in August and grossed $29.4 million at the box office. The faith-filled movie follows the story of a high school graduate navigating through new responsibilities with the guidance of spiritual mentors. One of the movie’s producers, Alex Kendrick, shared, “God has given us an opportunity through film to take the best messages in the world. We want to go after the hearts, minds and lives of the viewers because love will desire God's best for them in every area of their lives.”

This article from Lifeway titled, “Be Bold: Share Your Faith Using the Gifts God Gave You” reminds believers that God created His church to have different, unique functions but work towards one mission. Thus, we should make our gifts shine in our respective communities and consequently, make Christ shine. Perry wrote, “If we don’t cultivate courage and obediently speak the truth, the people around us will stay lost in darkness. The world needs to know the truth that the Creator God is the only One who defines our existence and we can only experience true life in Him.”
3. RESHAPING THE CHURCH: “Biggest Little Church” by Jesse Zink

This article from The Living Church titled “‘Biggest Little Church” shares a special viewpoint of modeling the Church — a vegetable garden. In this article, Jesse Zink walks through different aspects of gardening — pollination, healthy soil, diverse seeds — and compares them to the functions of the Church, revealing ways a congregation can thrive and glorify Christ. “A flourishing garden is not just a model of the destination toward which we are called, but also a guide for the journey we are on,” Zink wrote.
