Summary

There are some of us, including some in the family of faith, who believe that the world is inevitably going to decay until it is eventually destroyed. And yet, this is not what we see in Scripture, or in the teachings of Jesus. This world needs to be filled with people who love God and want to beautify the earth, allowing for the flourishing of all creation. In order to do this, we need to challenge false binaries that are undermining biblical truth and the exercise of our faith. Kirk outlines three sets of false binaries—sacred versus secular; spiritual versus physical; and church versus state—and encourages listeners to stop viewing these things as competing ideas. The sacred can exist in secular spaces, and it should. The spiritual world and the physical world are equally important in the eyes of God. And the church does not and should not exist outside of the state. If you don't recognize these false dichotomies, you many be standing in your own way of exercising your faith authentically and freely.

0:40.3	today. I want to talk about the things that will result in our nation's blessing. I'm not ready
0:44.6	to throw in the towel. I don't think God is done with America yet. I heard a guy say once,
0:49.8	I wake up every morning torn between two desires. On the one hand, to savor the world.
0:55.8	On the other, to save the world, which makes planning my day very difficult.
1:01.4	I can totally relate to that.

1:23.6	And so how do you plan your day?
1:25.6	I've been thinking about these things, and I've written a whole book about it called Born to Be Brave,
