dot is forward slash give. Thanks for considering. And now back to the show.

If you're watching or listening to this or in're in one of our churches or you're gathered

with somebody in a living room or somewhere and you would say, you know what, I'm not really

a Christian anymore. I grew up in church, but I'm not a Christian anymore. Or maybe you never

embrace Christianity at all. I'm so glad that you're listening, watching, that you're here,

or one of our churches today, or you're here in the room with me. Because I so want you,

and we started this conversation last week. I so want you, and I want us and I want me. And honestly,

and this is kind of a big wish, I I so want our nation and I so want

the world to recognize and to appreciate and ultimately to accept Jesus for who Jesus claimed

to be for who Jesus is and specifically for those for who he is and and who those who knew him best knew him to be

and who his enemies feared that he might be.

And I want us to discard and abandon the versions of Jesus that reduce him,

that reduce Jesus to, you know, in case of emergency,

you know, call Jesus, you know, say prayers, sin forgiver and forget her. You know, if you sin,

you just forgive, you know, ask him to forgive. You know, you reduce him to that. The verses that

reduce Jesus to, you know, heaven guarantee, for so many of us, we raised that Jesus is your

ticket to heaven. That's kind of how he's introduced. Or maybe later on, he was a fellow

sufferer or, you know, to be kind of snarky, you know, hashtag bestie. He's like my best friend.
