No one ever encountered Jesus without being changed for the better, which raises several questions: Why do so many of us feel wounded by His church rather than loved and accepted by it? Why do so many people choose not to participate in organized Christianity? When did following Jesus become unpopular? Join author Nicki Dechert Carlson in taking a fresh look at who Jesus is and what He can teach us about navigating our current challenges. Instead of asking what Jesus would do, Carlson advises us to take a look at what Jesus has already done and learn from Him. By studying the life of Jesus, we can learn to internalize Christ's character and live it out in the world. Because God doesn't want us simply to know Jesus; God wants us to live like Jesus, inside and out. Nicki Dechert Carlson is a Christian blogger, speaker, and author of Grace-Faced: Pursuing the Life-Changing Perspective of a Loving God.
