Discover Jesus' parables while making a difference
|
Hi Reader, What if growing in your faith could also help others in a time of urgent need? Jesus’ parables challenge us to live out the values of God’s kingdom, such as compassion, generosity, and love for our neighbors. Last week Jan Johnson was at Mater Dolorosa Retreat Center with the School of Kingdom Living cohort when we hosted our webinar Jesus, the Genius Teacher. An hour after our webinar, the campus had to be evacuated due to the Eaton Fire in Altadena. Unfortunately, the retreat center was in the path of the fire's destruction. As part of our commitment to the kingdom values Jesus taught, we’re donating 20% of the proceeds from How the Parables of Jesus Revolutionize Life with God to support Mater Dolorosa Passionist Retreat Center. This 5-week live online course will help you:
When you enroll, not only will you deepen your spiritual life, but you'll also be helping those who are recovering from devastating loss. Together, we can live out the compassion Jesus calls us to. Enroll today in the course and help those impacted by the SoCal wildfires. This is your chance to grow in your faith and make a difference. Will you join us? Warmly, Matt Rhodes P. S. We stand in solidarity with those affected by the SoCal wildfires. Right now when you enroll in our How the Parables of Jesus Revolutionize Life with God online course, we're donating 20% of the proceeds to Mater Dolorosa Passionist Retreat Center in Sierra Madre. |

Let me explain. In Jesus’ entire earthly ministry, he...

Hi Reader, What does it mean to live in God’s upside-down kingdom? Jesus often spoke of a world where the last are first, humility is strength, and treasures are found in unexpected places. These ideas challenge the way we naturally see and live life. To help us understand, He told parables—simple stories packed with profound meaning. Yet, even today, many of us wrestle with how to align our lives with the radical values these stories reveal. That’s why Jan Johnson and I created How the...
