The J Word

Have you noticed it has become hard to talk with people about the things that matter most? There are so many important topics, but the list of what is unsafe or unpopular to discuss seems to grow each week. Take, for example, “THE J WORD.” The very mention of this word divides people. It signals the difference between “US” and “THEM.” It enlivens the imaginations of many, while it kills the attention of others. Strangely, this “J Word” is deeply present in the Bible and profoundly associated with God’s person and desire. But even “Christians” divide over it. This three-week series explores why this word is so explosive AND constructive and why it ought to not only matter to more of us but become the beautiful aspiration that unites us all.
