Christian-ish
It’s easy to look the part, say the right things, and go through the motions all while keeping God at arm’s length. In this series, we’re calling out the ways we hedge our faith: trusting God mostly, obeying selectively, and following Jesus when it’s convenient. But Jesus didn’t call us to be Christian-ish. He called us to follow Him with our whole lives. If you’ve ever felt the tension between cultural Christianity and authentic faith, this series is for you.
