Unashamed: Boldly Following Jesus Even When “Christians” are The Worst

How can we be bold in our faith when we don’t want to be anything like the “Christians” we see in the world around us causing so much harm? Come hear about how true Jesus followers have always been subversive and countercultural, and proudly reclaim that powerful lineage.

Yes! And...

God kicked off a creative collab with, "Let there be light," but it was never supposed to end there. Each of us was given creative gifts to iterate on what God is doing, seeing God's creation and responding not only with "Yes!" but also adding our own "and..." while remixing what God gave us into something new.
