Costly courage and cheap violence are colliding on university campuses across the United States. Much of the conflict appears to be fueled by divisive, dehumanizing rhetoric rooted in the myth that God is preferential.
Jer just preached a timely message that confronts the fable that God plays favorites.
In conversation with Jesus’ most controversial encounter, Jer challenges the legitimacy of any theology or ideology that diminishes the dignity of another. He confronts the social lie, “God is partial.” with the spiritual truth, “God is pro–human.” He expands our understanding of who is beloved and then invites us to embrace Jesus’ revolutionary peacemaking practice of enemy-love.
In this era of widening divides, Global Immersion is here to support your formation as an Everyday Peacemaker. Through inspiring media like this message, the Everyday Peacemaking Podcast, and our soon-to-launch contemplative peacemaker series, we are awakening imaginations to the hopeful alternative to violence.
P.S. Jer’s teaching/preaching slots for this fall are now open. Contact info@globalimmerse.org to inquire about his availability to bring our pro–human peacemaking message to your team and/or congregation.
