Plagiarizing Jesus

one episode at a time.

We’re like barstool sports for the church, with no barstool, no sports and no church…

We’re like barstool sports for the church,

with no barstool, no sports and no church…

When you finally run out of people to blame…

We’ve been there— it’s his fault; it’s her fault; it’s their fault…and finally being set free by three words:

It’s MY fault!

Right there, in that moment of blame shifting responsibility BACK to ourselves we found out something amazing— grace IS NOT for good, righteous, put-together people. It is only for sick, need and helpless failures. Our sickness went deeper than what we did AND that meant we needed a cure that was bigger than us.

We found the antidote to shame and isolation.

We found the antidote to

shame and isolation.

We will shout it—

Preach it, Post it, Say it and Re-share it with anyone who is bad enough to need it.

We believe in...

>> Speaking Plainly

>> Welcoming Strugglers

>> and Plagiarizing Jesus

In order to unlock the mystery of grace for prodigals, misfits and screw-ups just like us.

This is Your Path Out of Pain

Each of us remembers vividly the moment we caught a glimpse of hope. The joy of life started to come back.

We finally started to make the separation between what we had done and who we are as human beings made in God’s image.

That moment was liberating. We never thought it would come, but it did.

This moment awaits anyone who will take ownership and turn and face their failures.

Once we had come to the realization that what we had done did not define us as people, our eyes opened to a completely different world.

Life was not over. Joy was not gone. Life was just beginning.

Life was not over. Joy was not gone.

Life was just beginning.

Those who have failed in life are sitting on a lifetime opportunity. If you embrace it, you will experience this truth— the most fulfilled lives often follow the most significant failures.

Screw-it, we’ll go first!

“Because we have been there, we know what it feels like to be lonely and isolated. We know what it’s like to look in the mirror and see yourself as unworthy. We’re not speaking theoretically, we have been there. We’ll say things you’ve felt, but could not put into words. We’ll confess things you’d never utter to another human being. We’re going first...”

— Byron, Jean & Tullian
