Today I want to talk about how we, as Christians and the church, can impact the world by laying down the best foundations for people to encounter and interact with God. For that to happen, it is vitally important that we, the church, create places that have what I want to call, delicate eco-systems—where soil is rich and full of nutrients and the Spirit is present, but where if the wrong things are injected into it at the wrong times, it can be easily spoiled.
