In this day and age many of those that claim to follow Christ have established their own sub-culture instead of influencing the culture around them. We’ve established Christian bookstores, music catalogs, magazines, coffeehouses, coalitions, etc.
As a result, there’s existed a tension between what is “sacred” and what is “worldly”.
Weren’t we instructed to be “in” the world and not “of” the world? Weren’t we challenged to be salt, a preservative, and light, a revealer? How is that possible if the salt spends all of its time and resources in the salt shaker? How blinded have we become in a room full of lights?
Furthermore, what part would anyone want to play in a sea of back-biting, low self-worthed, critical hypocrites? - that is how we are perceived.
A revolution of fresh perspective… an inspiring direction to follow… a tangible reality to be experienced…
Could Renown be a part of it all???

Its funny how many people who do not go to church or who are not Christians say they dont like religion. Seems our attempts to spread the good word haven’t panned out like we had hoped. I am a believer and it doesn’t make sense to me to expect non- believers to partake in the Christian world when the word “Christian” is viewed as boring, judgmental and “I’m better than you”. All the Christian things we have created are great for people who are already belivers, but what about those who aren’t. They are turn offs. Can Renown help change this view? I think so. When belivers act real and don’t claim to be holier than thou and untouchable, non-believers can see what being a Christian is really about. Loving unconditionaly, learning from our mistakes, sharing what we learned and not hiding our flaws can go along way to building Gods kingdoms. I think Renown is on the verge of this revolution. Question is can we lead the way?
