Welcome to THE LINK: Bridging Faith and Life with Dr. Vincent Bacote! Every month, Dr. Bacote will introduce listeners to ways they can build connections between faith and life in their ministries and personal lives. This month Dr. Bacote shares an insight that came to him about the intersection of our path of sanctification and our efforts to live well together. Sometimes, when we have a great vision (e.g. such as a multicultural church), there can be greater difficulty to bring the vision to fruition than first imagined. Philippians 2:12 and Romans 12:2 both help us to see that all of us are "on the way" in our path of transformation, which also means that sometimes our differing trajectories of sanctification can be revealed as we pursue our goals. Let's reframe our expectations, and keep moving forward, though it will likely take longer to realize the vision.

Note: Dr. Bacote also mentions Carter G. Woodson, the founder of Black History Month at the beginning. You can read about him here: https://asalh.org/about-us/our-history/

Dr. Bacote is a professor of theology and the director of the Center for Applied Christian Ethics at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois.

Welcome to THE LINK: Bridging Faith and Life with Dr. Vincent Bacote! Every month, Dr. Bacote will introduce listeners to ways they can build connections between faith and life in their ministries and personal lives. This month's episode is a tribute to Dr. Bacote's friend and colleague Dr. Daniel Treier, who passed away the Monday before Christmas. He was a great support to Dr. Bacote and many others, and a great example of a person who embodied Hebrews 10:24-25, a verse that is not only an encouragement to the private dimensions of faith but also the public aspects as well. Dr. Bacote misses him greatly, but is encouraged and inspired by his life to keep building bridges between faith and life.

Welcome to THE LINK: Bridging Faith and Life with Dr. Vincent Bacote! Every month, Dr. Bacote will introduce listeners to ways they can build connections between faith and life in their ministries and personal lives. This month, Dr. Bacote discusses how we can be committed to God without feeling pressure to commit to advocating for the latest cause, suggesting at least one way forward.There are many great causes and many Christians who are great advocates for these great matters of concern. Dr. Bacote used to feel great pressure when he would hear persuasive voices, especially because of the proper desire to follow God's will. 2 Corinthians 5:15 and Micah 6:8 have been very important verses to consider.
