About this listen
Moving from Passivity to Purpose
For many Christians, "church" is defined by attending an occasional Sunday service mired in an audience mentality. Virtually ineffective and having no impact, we have become a cultural Christianity that creates passive believers. Yet the Church is meant for so much more!
Tony Cooke challenges the way some see church with biblical and historical evidence that paints a radically different picture.
Through New Testament exhortations, Tony mobilizes the body of Christ to action. He reminds us to be a living, fully engaged body carrying life to those who are lost and without hope.
The End of Spectator Church launches you from inactivity to full participation–across the street, across town, or across the ocean. Tony writes with contagious zeal and encouragement as he reveals:
- Your divine purpose for "such a time as this"
- Hurting people are waiting on the gifts inside you
- The body of Christ only functions fully when each part is in place
- What the true "priesthood of all believers" looks like today
The call to radical engagement is sounding, and it's time to answer. Take your place in a fully awakened and activated Church!

Story
Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

The great challenge of spiritual leadership is not simply in knowing the right words to say or knowing the right things to do; it is in being the right person. When Moses chose those who would assist, there were qualifications. When the early church chose it's workers, there were qualifications. When Paul spoke of bishops, elders, and deacons, there were qualifications.

Story
The word of God is like a seed and your heart is the soil. Most Christians want change in some area of their lives. They try and try to make those changes but soon find themselves falling back into the same habits and behaviors. Self-discipline and self-control have once again failed them. So how does lasting change take place? A worm doesn't struggle to become a butterfly in the cocoon. A seed doesn't strive to become a tree and produce fruit. They simply do what they were designed to do by god and the change takes place, effortlessly.
