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 Parables of Jesus Revolutionize Life with God, a 5-week live online course designed to help you explore the heart of Jesus’ parables and uncover their relevance for your life.

With fresh insights from Dallas Willard, this course will help you see life through the lens of God’s kingdom and give you practical tools to live out its values in every moment. The kingdom of God is not a distant dream—it’s a present reality, available to all who seek it. We invite you to enroll today and take the next step toward living fully in God’s transformative kingdom. “The genius of Jesus as a teacher is clearly seen in his respectful and merciful approach.
