stephen christian, "advocate" for action

so i just read this little guest blog that stephen christian wrote, and it pretty much was amazing.

basically it's telling how we need to stop being advocates for things and instead be active in things instead. forget the discussion and chit chat if you will and instead go out and DO something about what you feel you should do. i've always thought that discussion groups were kinda silly since 90% of the time whatever is discussed NEVER comes into fruition so now it's nice to hear a person in the public eye call out such a challenge to people.

the great commission calls us to "go and make," disciples, not just talk about going and doing. the follow through is lost so many times. i've always loved stephen christian's work, not just his music but his book and other writings. this just cements what i've thought for so long: he is more than just a musician, but he is a great role model and public figure in the christian world. he isn't one of the preachy and over-the-top type of figures, but the kind we can all look to, effective and understanding with a message that isn't offensive but for everyone.
