Read e-book How to Inherit the Earth: Submitting Ourselves to a Servant Savior

Where do we genuinely offer submission to one another out of reverence for Christ without complaint? How are children really becoming the examples for the church that Jesus suggested they should be? After all, if we cannot even enter the kingdom without become like kids how do we expect to build such a kingdom without actively thinking about and practicing child-likeness?

So they begin obeying me just kidding … sorta. In some ways I wrote it as an act of worship without too much thought about readership.

But as someone who works everyday with North American college students my hope is that those who have been raised in a church culture of independence and self-absorption and who will find themselves in positions of power will begin a new western church trend of humility. Outside of Scripture, whose example or which books have most influenced you on this topic? There are people who have inspired me some of whom have written books — Henri Nouwen and Mother Teresa for instance — and there are mission agencies that represent a kind of new wineskin sending men and women to live among the poor.

There is also some good stuff coming out from Frank Viola about ways in which we have uncritically adopted ways of doing church which need to be re-thought.

So much of what Chris says in that book resonates with me and with what I try to convey in How to Inherit the Earth. I hear there is a follow up book in the works. Tell us about it. There are about a dozen of us who have now completed the second draft of a book which will be called Living Mission: In a culture that too often prizes leadership uncritically and unreflectively, a faith that calls us to take up crosses, lay down lives and otherwise submit ourselves to something outside ourselves simply sounds like a bad idea.

Nevertheless, this is the. Nevertheless, this is the faith that we find Jesus talking about.

Scott Bessenecker has learned from new friar communities, from the history of Christianity and from the mouth of Jesus that there's something wonderfully subversive about saying no to ourselves every now and then, something that could even change the world.
