The purpose of these reflections is to recover the deeper meaning of what it means to follow Jesus. We also seek to better understand the content of the good news that Jesus proclaimed. We are primarily focused on what it means to live and experience the Kingdom of God as Jesus described it. Somewhere along the line, Christianity as we know it has gotten side-tracked by creeds and confessions and the like. What Jesus intended as a way of life for us to live together individually and collectively has instead become something Jesus never intended: a religion. This series of reflections is, in large part, is an extended response to questions I've received from people I've encountered throughout my now quarter century of licensed and ordained ministry. Our goal is to provide clarity and strip away everything that obscures the message and vision of Jesus in order to recover the revolutionary message of good news that once upended the ancient world.
