A lot of people call themselves Christians. But what does that word mean anymore? Is it just a way to reference a tradition we grew up in or a community we loosely belong to? Is it a set of beliefs that get us into heaven or a set of behaviors we commit to here on earth? Is it possible to be a Christian and live like an Atheist?  Does God really need a say in the way we approach everything - from ethics to economics? Maybe we see him having an opinion on morality, but money?

How would Jesus answer these questions?  And how might his answers surprise, challenge or inspire us?

There’s an old nursery rhyme that goes, “first comes love, then comes marriage.” You know the rest. Although, I guess technically it starts with two people sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. Which brings up a lot of questions. Doesn’t fifteen feet up an oak feel like a dangerous place for a makeout? Also, who came up with this sequence of events? But at least there’s some order to it. Who knows how relationships work anymore? With an anonymous hook up a single swipe away, we’ve never had more opportunities for, but less of an understanding of love. Is long-term romance even realistic anymore?

What if there were better places to look for answers than nursery rhymes, reality shows, and app reviews? And what if the wisdom awaiting you had the ability to give you access to what everyone’s after?

Ever struck by how confident, connected, & comfortable certain people seem, and think to yourself, “That’s not how my life & relationships feel at all. Are they really as close & happy as they appear, or is it all for show? And if they are, why aren’t I?” Is there something wrong with you? And if so, what & why? Are you destined to live a life of disconnection, or can you experience the closeness you crave?
