Radical Experiment

frontpage-radicalIn January and February 2011, small groups and individuals were encouraged to engage in ZPC's all-church study and sermon series around the book Radical by David Platt. In his book, Platt invites you to encounter what Jesus actually said about being his disciple, and then obey what you have heard.

For one year, March 2011-March 2012, we are asking ZPCers to take part in the Radical Experiment. The book goes into much greater detail, but in summary the Radical Experiment is:

  • Pray for the entire world
  • Read through the entire Bible
  • Sacrifice your money for a specific purpose
  • Spend your time in another context
  • Commit your life to a multiplying community.

Want to learn more? Pick up a copy of Radical at a local bookstore or download the audio book version read by David Platt at christianaudio.com for $12.98.

Check this blog often as we offer resources, encouragement, and chronicle ZPCers experience with our commitment of a one-year to the Radical Experiment.

Submitted by: Donna Bahler Seeing God change my heart toward His Word is one of the marks of the supernatural in my life. Certainly in younger years I could not have said that I loved His Word and time in it. As I look back, I see several things that helped build my appetite and love for the ...

Praying for Japan

Posted In: Resources by Sally Bias

I love that God sends teachers into our lives packaged as people, our children, books, and in many other ways. Two weekends ago my teacher was packaged as a 22-year-old woman who sat at my table for the Great Banquet. One of her stories has really stuck with me. It was how her mother taught her ...
