Creation, Rebellion, Rescue, Creation — That’s Our Story

This mindset insight stems from my passion project as a vocational pastor and a minister. In addition to my own interests as a Christian, as a follower of Christ in this world, this passion project of mine is what I call the Vintage Christian Faith.

It is this recognition that there is a set of essential beliefs that Christians have always held to—from the earliest apostles through the earliest Christians. believers on through the Middle Ages, the Reformation, the modern era into this contemporary Christian world.

The vintage Christian faith is really about the Christian worldview, how Christians have understood the human story in relationship to the God story. And over the years, decades, centuries, generations, Christians have framed that story in this way: creation, fall, redemption, consummation. In my own pastoral ministry, I have sort of reframed this as creation, rebellion, rescue, and then recreation.

Where did we come from? Why are we so messed up? Why is the world so messed up? What’s the fix to that messed-up-ness? How do we get right with ourselves and God? Where is this whole human story, this whole world story, heading? These are questions that all worldviews seek to answer in some way or another.

Which the Christian worldview answers. And I walk through in this view, as well as how you can weave it into your stories and resources.
