The Opportunity Most Christians Are Overlooking

About this episode

Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the often-overlooked spiritual authority Christians possess and how it should be used to impact the world.

You’ve been given more authority than you realize—but most of us are using it far too small. In this episode, Pastor Allen Jackson challenges the way we think about spiritual authority, prayer, and influence, and why it was never meant to stop at personal comfort or convenience. He draws a sharp contrast between how power is often used in public life and how believers are called to use the authority of the Kingdom. This is a call to lift our eyes beyond ourselves and engage in what God is doing in the world. If faith is meant to make an impact, then the real question is: What are you doing with the authority you’ve been given?
