Tomorrow I fly with a team to the Dominican Republic, and one of our layovers will be at Atlanta’s international airport, the single busiest airport in the world that sees well over 100 million passengers pass through it annually! This travel culture, with our ability to get up and go to any corner of the world that we deem “my destination,” is fairly new to world history. And this individualized concept of “my destination” that we see everywhere from airports to subways is fairly foreign to the faith God wants us to have. This week we look at the culture of Antioch, where believers lived so counter-cultural that they earned their own name- “Christians.” Let’s look at their faith and what it can teach us about standing counter-culturally, especially in a “my destination,” individualistic world.
