The Canteen #157 All In

from The Backpack · host Christ Community Church

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the idea that faith isn’t just about what God did in the past—it’s about what He is still doing today. Featuring an insightful discussion with Nik Ripken, we challenge the mindset that sees the Bible as a historical record rather than an active, living testimony of God’s ongoing work. Ripken emphasizes that we do not serve a “past-tense” God. The miracles, movements, and messages of the Bible are still unfolding in the present, and the same power that shaped the New Testament Church is available today. However, this truth also means that the trials and challenges of the Old Testament remain part of the faith journey. Are we truly embracing an active, present-tense faith? Or are we stuck believing in a God of the past rather than walking in His power today?
