Being back-handed across the face doesn't seem like the best invitation to extend love and justice.  However, David Hickman wraps up CharlotteONE's spring 2012 season and the Social Justice series by examining how "staying present" is ultimately the best strategy when being buffeted by the winds of injustice.

The American justice system is considered a model around the world.  Millions have been able to secure their rights in the process. But how does the American system square with the biblical definition of justice?  Development Director Ross Chapman opens the annual Social Justice series by defining what it means to secure true justice.

Good relationships require hard work.  But what if the hardest work you had to do to maintain a good relationship was – nothing.  "Failure to recognize the value of mere being with God, as the Beloved, without doing anything, is to gouge the heart out of Christianity."  The work of rest may be the hardest work you’ll ever do in the Christian life.  But it may also be the most rewarding.

The essence of the Christian life is our personal relationship to Jesus.  Oh, wait.  Let's re-think that.  "The Father doesn't want to just walk with you; He wants to be in you."  David Hickman continues Foundations and examines a facet of our theology that launches us beyond any personal relationship into very union with the Trinity.

David Hickman launches "Foundations" - Some Overlooked Foundations of the Christian Faith.  Some believe they already fully grasp the essentials of the faith.  But do they?   You might be surprised by what you've missed, and how vital that will be to your walk with Christ.

The Unique series wraps up with three ideas being proposed to the CharlotteONE community for a new non-profit organization. CharlotteONE would provide the legal fees and support to set-up one new non-profit to be selected via vote by the CharlotteONE attendees.  Whose unique idea will selected by the group?

Chris Simning returns to CharlotteONE to open Unique.  Chris summarizes his life, having to deal with a debilitating illness that left him vulnerable to deep humiliation and a desire to no longer live.   But after an encounter with Almightly God he met his challenges head-on and now travels the world speaking words of life and hope to thousands.  He was without a doubt the best, and perhaps the only choice, to open this groundbreaking series.
