The Church is Thriving with Alexia Salvatierra

Jesus Never Ran

In this episode special guest Alexia Salvatierra joins the show to talk about the church that is hidden but growing. Even though in America and Europe we may look around and see numbers dwindling, in other places the church is thriving! We also talk about the importance or getting around people who are different than us and what it could look like to work together.

How can we chase goodness if we don't get practical about creating a foundation for the goodness we desire to see in this world. It is very easy to identify what and who we are against in this world but it is extremely difficult to do the hard work of overcoming the prejudice that creates in our lives. How do we expect to come together when we pre-judge those whose thoughts and beliefs are different than our own. Is there a way to come together without changing our beliefs. We will never know if we don't try.

Religion has too often put a dark stain on history and has left a lot of destruction in its wake. Because of this, we are at a time in history when many are rethinking religion and faith altogether. The exciting part is that In in the midst of this faith shift lies hope for a better future. A future where faith acts not as an opportunity to oppress but as a catalyst to do good.

Outside of the religious systems of our past life is beginning to bloom as many dedicated people of faith are coming up with new culture changing ideas to create a better and more humane world. The work being done is difficult and time consuming leaving little space for those engaged in it to share their stories. Matt Kendziera uses his voice to elevate the voices of these changemakers.

Stories give courage to the dreamers and hope to the discouraged. Each one has the ability to motivate and inspire the next brilliant idea from the next social entrepreneur or faith leader. Through speaking, writing, and producing Matt brings these stories, causes and thoughts to the forefront so that they can be seen heard and experienced.

Matt has had the honor to work with incredible difference making organizations such as Fierce Freedom, Rachels Challenge, Ashoka, Soularize, Celtic way and others create the space necessary to inspire the world to act out of kindness, compassion and love.

There is hope in the voices and stories of people of faith. When hope emerges, change happens. When change happens, the world becomes a more beautiful place.
