Living the Book of Acts – Pastor Chris Fletcher’s Message

Pastor Chris Fletcher of Manna Church joins Philip Cameron for a wide-ranging conversation about living with an eternal perspective, radical obedience, and what it truly means to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the 21st century. Manna Church, headquartered in Fayetteville, North Carolina — home to Fort Bragg, the largest U.S. military installation in the world — has planted campuses in 21 states, with a vision to establish a gospel presence near every U.S. military base worldwide. Chris unpacks the danger of shrinking God's purposes down to the span of a single lifetime, drawing on Jeremiah 29:11 in its full context — a letter written to God's people in exile — to challenge the idea that blessing is only for "this little blip of time." He reminds listeners that "our arms can't even wrap around eternity," and that Paul's arrest in Jerusalem was, in fact, the center of God's will. The conversation turns practical as Chris describes Manna Church's "Serve Days," where red-shirted volunteers flood their city with acts of service, proving that "there's no such thing as small outreach" — even a water bottle handed to a stranger can alter someone's eternal destiny.
