As we go through destabilized times, we can't face those times without the reality that the church is impacted by them. And when we look at what's going on today in the world and in our country, and we look at what's going on in the church, they sadly mirror one another. The church should be this light that pushes against the darkness, but sadly, we get pulled into it.

Our guest today is none other than Pastor Dr. Steve Bezner. Dr. Bezner is senior pastor of Houston Northwest Church in Houston, Texas. He is a local leader and participant in Multi-Faith Neighbors Network, where he builds bridges with Muslims and Jews, and he serves on the board of the Houston Church Planting Network. He also trains church planters through Glocalnet, serves on the executive committee of Texas Baptists, and is an adjunct professor at George W. Truett Theological Seminary at Baylor University.
His new book, Your Jesus is Too American, he notes that the American church faces a discipleship crisis. Instead of following the values of Jesus, many Christians are chasing after what our culture prizes: power, money, and political influence. Bezner invites Christians to rediscover what Jesus treasured and incorporate those kingdom values into the church's witness.

Pastor Bob goes through the importance of knowing yourself well during a season of destabilization. He discussed that maturing in life is more of a process than it is an event. Most want a quick secret, a quick Bible verse, a quick fix, do something and I'm changed and it's over. But sometimes, that's not how it works. He walks through how Paul struggled with stress and anxiety – that he writes that he was anxious. He literally used the word anxious in his life based on what was going on in the churches that were there.
