The Invisible Government
"The Invisible Government" (Isaiah 9:2, 6-7)
Scripture speaks of a different kind of government— the government of the Messiah. As people of faith, it’s important that we understand what this means. Because if we don’t, we’ll wreak havoc in the world.
Ryan Phipps is the Senior Minister at Church In Bethesda.
Raised in the church, becoming a pastor was the one thing Ryan vowed he would never do. After spending many years away from faith, he found that for all of its flaws, the church can still occupy a unique place of good in the world if it is willing to evolve with reason and empathy.
Ryan has a special place in his heart for those who have been damaged or disillusioned by the church, and longs to lead those within it toward a more just and generous expression of itself.
