Something Needs To Change

David Platt took a trip to the Himalayan mountains that transformed the trajectory of his life. There he was confronted with staggering physical and spiritual needs unlike any he had seen before. On leaving, Platt found himself asking fundamental questions about his life and ministry. He realized that something needed to change.
 
What does it mean to follow Jesus in a world filled with urgent physical and spiritual needs? Being confronted with suffering causes us to ask questions that, if we are honest, we would rather ignore. You'll ask hard questions alongside Platt about human need, suffering, faith, the gospel, and our role. For Christians, ignorance of profound human need is not an option. Neither is indifference. It's time to explore what it means to follow Jesus in a world of urgent physical and spiritual need.
