smitten by us: A Manifesto for Jesus Followers Who are Tired of Alienating the World
"If the church finds its community to be an end in itself for the good of its members only, our very purpose for existence is cut off. The gospel gets trapped, swirling around among its followers like a tornado. Safely in the eye of the storm, we are oblivious to the destruction we cause. There is a better way."
When Judy Brower uprooted from the Midwest to San Francisco, she had a plan. 'My hope was that God would use me to change San Francisco on his way to changing the world. Now I wonder if His plan was to use San Francisco to change me on His way to changing his church.'
Along the way, God blew apart her paradigms and showed her the beauty of us.
us is not a strategy.
us is not a method.
us is not a program.
us is not even something we do.
us is a way of seeing and being with fellow humans that transforms us as individuals, connects our hearts more deeply with our Savior, and opens the door for mutual relationships where the gospel is free to flow through our lives.
us is the beauty of all people living together in relationships that are characterized by FULL respect and FULL expression.
