SynopsisFor Rob Peabody, the young pastor at a mega-church in the south, the realization that his faith had little real connection with the world around him meant that something had to change. He redirected his church toward the poor on their doorstep and then took the larger step of moving to the UK to establish the missional fellowship 'Awaken.' In Citizen he outlines the Kingdom-centered identity that is given to followers of Jesus. It's a wake-up call to the church in the West. Jesus' death and resurrection initiates and invites people into a life of so much more than the status quo. God is re-building, re-newing, and re-creating that which is broken and marred by sin, and he is doing this - setting things right in the world - through Jesus. As citizens of the Kingdom, we have been saved and set apart for this work. We have a new allegiance, a changed identity, and a new mission as we seek to establish the rule of God on earth as it is in Heaven., As Jesus followers, we are citizens of Heaven. We have been set apart for His Kingdom work. We have a new allegiance. It's a fundamental change. But how far has this truly penetrated? Is Jesus asking of us more than we are comfortable with giving? Is our faith anything more than a Get Out of Hell Free card? So many believers feel stuck. They would like to move on, grow, see lives transformed - including their own! But how?
