<description>&lt;p class=""&gt;Christians have a reputation of acting as if the world is doomed and their main objective is to complain about it, survive it, and eventually escape it.

But what if hope wasn’t something reserved for later, but something we can access here and now? What if God’s expectation isn’t that we escape the earth, but that we bring heaven to earth?
