This is part 1 of my notes from the Beautiful Day Conference.
John Talbert is the founder of Beautiful Day. He’s also the compassion pastor at Westgate. He’s got some cool name other than compassion pastor, but I can’t remember what it is.
Common Grace - you don’t have to be a Christ-follower to be good or do good.
Incarnational Grace - becoming the personification of Jesus.
Our compassion must be rooted in the person of Jesus Christ or it will become a fad and die. The other danger is that compassion becomes a silo ministry that is added on the list of services the church offers.
Incarnational Grace: It identifies, has intimacy (relational) , is interdependent (collaborates with other ministries), and is indiscriminate (blesses even our enemies).
GE’s Takeaways:
EVERY ministry faces the same struggle - how do you keep a relational, holistic approach to ministry for the entire church? How do you keep the church segmenting even further the already segmented familly?
