Synopsis

Daily news of systemic injustice has caused activist rhetoric to balloon. Tyler Wigg - Stevenson hopes to slow this trend, suggesting that our complex global situation is forcing us to see our limits as world - changers. He calls Christians to leave aside the heady pursuit of causes and take their rightful place as standard - bearers of God's peace.
