Jonathan Pokluda 牧师:本书探讨了如何战胜恶习,追求美德,从而获得丰盛的生命。作者分享了自己人生中对信仰的重新审视,以及如何从‘解构’(deconstruction)的阶段中重新建立对上帝的信仰。他认为,许多人在信仰中过于关注与罪恶的斗争,而忽略了耶稣所应许的丰盛生命。作者主张追求美德而非仅仅避免罪恶,才能获得真正的自由和丰盛的生命体验。他用养鸟的例子说明,信仰中的自由来自于顺服,胜利来自于降服,而非放纵自我。他还用流浪猫的比喻说明,持续的罪恶如同喂养流浪猫,只会使其不断靠近,而停止喂养才能让其离开。此外,作者还谈到习惯性的罪恶实际上是将自己交给魔鬼,让他掌控自己的人生。 Jonathan Pokluda 牧师:作者分享了自己年轻时迷失,后因信仰而改变人生轨迹的经历,并表达了对年轻人的关怀和帮助他们的愿望。他批评现代教会将基督教的使命感淡化,未能对信徒提出更高的要求。他认为年轻人渴望做一些有意义的事情,而教会应该给予他们更宏大的目标和使命感。作者也谈到,虽然宗教丑闻屡见报端,但仍有许多忠实的信徒在默默地做着善事。 Jonathan Pokluda 牧师:作者建议人们在新的一年里,找到信仰的归属,积极参与教会活动,为信仰奉献自己的时间和精力。他用人们对远祖的陌生感,来强调人生短暂,应该思考死后的事,并找到人生的意义。他鼓励人们加入教会,参与小组活动,并在信仰中建立社区,因为这些微小的改变能够带来巨大的生命改变。 Shannon Bream:主持人与作者就年轻人对有组织宗教的怀疑态度,以及如何帮助年轻人寻找信仰和人生意义等问题进行了探讨。
