When Jesus said, “The poor you will always have with you,” (Matthew 26:11) he wasn’t suggesting that his followers should just resign themselves to the world as it is. Jesus was reminding every person who chooses to follow him that the work of justice (God’s will) is constant and always with us.

Free Methodist Church leaders Rev. E. Kenneth Martin and Rev. Dr. Fraser Venter met together to discuss the “Mantle of Justice” – the idea that when we follow Christ, he covers us with his love for all people. They look at the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and how his commitment to loving both the body and soul impacts their own work today in the field of Love-Driven Justice.

In this 8 part series on “Your Identity is Your Anchor” we’ll discuss how every pastor and Christian leader will confront tough times. The best response is not just being skillful at handling pressure, but having a sound identity formed with intention over time. That’s where the power of Christian leadership and pastoral influence comes from.

In this episode Dr. Kevin Mannoia discusses the importance of recognizing that your identity goes deeper than what you do and asks us to consider what underlying factors drive our actions.

An important question we need to be asking within the Church is, “What really matters?” Bishop Matthew Whitehead challenges us to take seriously the things that God cares about: Passion for lost people really matters. Diversity in leadership really matters. Spiritual seriousness really matters. Hearing from God really matters. A missionary Spirit really matters.
