What happens when we take our negative thinking about ourselves and replace it with imagining what is God's hope for our life?

What if the world is filled with givers, takers and matchers? Givers want "win/win". Takers want "I win". Matchers want "tit for tat" - nothing more, nothing less. Which are you? What changes if you learn to function more like a giver? At work? Within your friendships? For your community? In your marriage? With your kids? Between you and God? Give & Take is a conversation about the ways we approach life, and what's at stake. It's predicated on research suggesting everyone has a reciprocal style and that everyday each of us encounter opportunities to choose whether to be a giver, taker or matcher.

As for those in the original Christmas story, what if everyday we encounter opportunities to choose to be a giver, taker, or matcher in the way we approach people and relationships?

How do you think about Jesus? Do you like him? What might happen if you consider him for his historical merits? Not as a religious teacher, but as a person. What kind of person was he? What do his historical fingerprints tell us about who he was and what mattered to him? For the next three weeks at Narrate, we're inviting you to suspend your thoughts about Jesus as a religious figure and instead consider his historical impact. Rather than talk about whether or not he was God, we want to take a long look at the way he impacted the way we think about people, women, and religion in general. We want to ask: if you remove Jesus' impact from world history, what happens? In the end, our hope is to cast light on Jesus as a freaking amazing person. To see him through a historical lens and thus to rethink his value within our twenty-first century world. We plan to explore how his ideas shaped the way we think about the value of individual people, the value of women, and the value (or lack thereof) of religion. Like you, we aren't interested in religious institutions or systems, but we're fascinated by what we can learn from the person of Jesus. How has Jesus affected the way we think about compassion?
