Tobie and I are about to meet face-to-face for the first time, and we’d love for you to join us in Kansas City as we spend three days exploring the glorious implications of Just Love: How One Mistranslated Word Distorted the Gospel.
This won’t be a seminar as much as a conversation—an opportunity to sit together with the wonder of a Gospel far richer than a get-out-of-hell-free card. We lost so much when we traded God’s justness for our imagined righteousness, reducing the life of Jesus to religious schemes of behavior modification that were never meant to work. The Gospel offers something far better: freedom from guilt and shame through the work of Jesus, and a marvelous process of transformation as his love reshapes us from the inside out.
That’s what Tobie and I want to explore with you—not just as an idea to be explained, but as a reality to be discovered together. How does love-produced justice change the way we see salvation, Scripture, transformation, and God’s kingdom taking shape in the world?
If you haven’t read Just Love yet, give it a look. And if you can find your way to Kansas City, July 9–12, come join us for three days of conversation, connection, and discovery. We’ll gather at Westbrooke Church in Overland Park, Kansas. There’s no cost to attend, though donations are welcome to help cover expenses. If you’re coming from out-of-town, reservations must be made by June 16 to qualify for our reduced group rate.
Space is limited, and registration is first-come, first-served. To reserve your place, email waynej@lifestream.org with the names of those coming.
We’re calling it the Just Love Conversations, and I’d love to see you there.
You can get all the details here.
