Let’s get real simple about the Gospel of Jesus Christ

The Gospel is this word that gets thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean?

At its core, it’s this: God gave us the gift of reconciliation. A simple, powerful, no-strings-attached kind of gift. It’s not about religion, rules, or trying to be perfect. It’s about something real, something personal, and something that literally anyone can receive

This gift is the most valuable thing ever offered in human history. And it’s meant for you.

Ok, here’s the simple but important part

Every single one of us was born into a broken world - one that’s been running on a universal law: sin equals death. It’s harsh, but it’s real. We’ve all messed up in some way, and the result of that mess is separation from the life we were meant to have.

But God wasn’t okay with that. He loves you too much to leave things like that. So He did something wild. He came to us. Not as a distant idea or a thunderous voice in the sky, but as a human - Jesus. He lived a perfect life, one without sin, and then willingly took on the punishment meant for us. That means He died in our place.

But because He’s God, death didn’t get the final word. Jesus came back to life, proving that He has power over sin and death. Now He holds the ability to offer two things: the payment for everything we’ve done wrong and the eternal life He brought back with Him.

And He’s offering that to you.

So... Here’s the deal: 

Jesus already did all the work. The gift is already in your hands—you just have to say “yes.” Believe in what He did for you. Talk to Him. Tell Him you want to receive what He’s offering. Turn from your current way of thinking and receive a new way of thinking (that's called repentance).

It’s simple. It’s personal. It’s life-changing.

And yes, the offer is still on the table—right now.

You know you're ready to receive it. The most import question of your life is, "will you?"

Let’s get real simple about finding God

We don’t walk toward God because we don’t really expect to  find  Him. But, what if the thing that's been missing this whole time isn't God's presence, but our expectation? If you’ve ever felt like life is falling apart and there's no way out, you’re not alone. I’ve been there - totally wrecked, no hope left, and nothing I could do to fix it. One day in 2016, I ended up in this small, dim room in a church I’d never been to before. I didn’t go there because I was religious. I went there because I was desperate. I told God—straight up—“You have to change my life. I’m not moving until I hear from You.” I cried, begged, waited… and got nothing. Came back the next day. Same thing. But then, something happened. Not in some dramatic movie scene kind of way, but in a way that flipped my life upside down. Jesus showed up. Not in a vision or a flash of light. I just suddenly knew He was there. I felt comforted. Seen. Known. It’s hard to describe, but it was like my soul finall...

Let’s get real simple about wisdom, life, and the One who dreamed you up

Ever feel like you're just winging it through life? Yeah… same. Turns out, that’s the starting point for real wisdom. We all mess up. We all feel lost or unsure sometimes. It’s easy to look around and compare ourselves to others. Maybe you feel smarter, more put together, or just “less of a mess” than someone else, but if there really is a God who knows everything, then none of us are even close to His level. Compared to perfect wisdom, we’re all pretty clueless. That’s not a dig. That’s just honesty. But here’s the cool part: recognizing that we don’t know it all is actually the first step toward real wisdom. Everything in this world seems to come with an opposite: light and dark, good and evil, dry and wet. Same goes for wisdom and foolishness. And the amazing thing is, understanding one side helps you grasp the other. You don’t have to live in darkness to understand light - you just need to see the light . And if you feel stuck in the dark? The light can still reach you. T...

Let’s get real simple about meeting God

You and I didn’t choose to be born—we just showed up one day, breathing, thinking, living. And whether we like it or not, there’s someone behind that. The Bible says that at some point—either during our life or at the very end—we will meet the One who gave us life. No one gets a pass. Everyone will face God eventually. But here’s the thing: why wait until we die to meet Him? If we were made by Someone, wouldn’t it make sense to know who that Someone is while we’re still alive? Ok, here’s the simple but important part. The best thing we could ever do with our time is get to know Jesus. Not religion. Not rules. Him. Jesus isn’t just a historical figure or a name people throw around at church. The Bible says He’s the one through whom everything was made - including you. So if you’ve ever wondered about your purpose, your identity, or why life even matters, Jesus is the starting point . Eternal life isn’t just about some future heaven thing. It’s about knowing Jesus. That’s literally ...
