EP246: What Jesus Wants for Us More Than Anything w/Pastor Chase Rashad Stancle Pt 1

Show Notes:

In John 17, Jesus prayed for the Church, that we would be one just as He and the Father are one. He could have prayed anything for us, but the Lord prayed for unity. This begs the question, how are we doing with the whole unity thing? Today I welcome to the show my new friend Chase Rashad Stancle. He’s the lead pastor at Unison Christian Church, a racially and religiously diverse church in Grand Rapids, MI. He’s also a racial equity coach, a musician, a husband, and a father. And we had one of my most favorite conversations on the podcast ever. Listen in. 

What we discuss:

  • What is on Pastor Chase’s To-Don’t List
  • Pastor Chase’s unsolicited feelings about social media + his favorite flower (ha!) 
  • Why he began his book with a letter to the Church
  • How Jesus’ prayer in John 17 rocks our world (and prompted Chase to write this book)
  • Where the Church is getting it wrong with spiritual gifts and what our gifts are REALLY for
  • The mission of the church vs. the focus of the church (you’ll be chewing on this one for a while) 
  • The one thing we can do to make Jesus most attractive to the world 
  • How I can Biblically love you without agreeing with you 
  • Collectivist Culture vs. Individualistic Society and we need to understand the difference when we interpret Scripture, implement our spiritual gifts, and discern the Kingdom of God
