Episode Synopsis

Looking back at the top news making events of 2011, seven years seems like a lifetime ago. Arab Spring. Protests spread throughout the Middle East and Northern Africa fueled by unemployed young people, frustration with longtime leaders and corrupt police — leading to the overthrow of government leaders, in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya. Osama bin Laden. The mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans was shot and killed by Navy SEALs. Occupy Wall Street. Protesting income inequality and corporate abuse, activists camped out near New York's Wall Street. The movement spread throughout the US and even spilled into other countries. Someone Like You by Adele, Look At Me Now by Chris Brown, You Are More by Tenth Avenue North and I Smile by Kurt Franklin all led the music charts. And TPC held its first public gathering at the Fels Planetarium in Philadelphia, with over 300 people braving torrential downpours to witness the birth of a new part of Jesus’ Church. And here we are in 2018, in the midst of some of the most divided times in our country and the world. In the midst of it all Jesus is crying out to us, just as He has to every generation before — Follow Me. Acknowledge Me. Ask of Me. These commands are timeless and eternal and they are just on time and for this very moment.
