Hey friends,
You've been hearing me speak about historian Rodney Stark a little bit in the sermon series working through 1 Peter. His two books, The Rise Of Christianity and The Triumph Of Christianity together tell the story of how a small localized movement took over the greatest empire in human history in a mere 300 years. I've basically distilled his observations and then turned several of them into potential action items for the church moving forward. If you are interested, you can find it here.
