Hmmmm, What’s This Tube-Shaped Package at my Front Door?
If you live in the United States and are expecting a ReKnew Manifesto poster you should be getting it anytime now. If you live in another country, it will take a little longer to get there, but they’re all on their way. We just wanted to give you a heads-up that this poster is letter-pressed old-style and it’s normal to have variations in the density of color and some tiny imperfections. It’s kind of artsy and special that way. We hope you all enjoy it.
We’d also like to invite you to share stories with us about the ways this poster impacts you and the people around you. We’re hoping this poster and it’s message function as more than decoration.
Again, for the time being, this poster is a gift to those who support us with a monthly donation of $25 or more. If you’d like to support us in this way, you can go here for more information, or you can watch this video to see what all the fuss is about.

Nick Thompson via Compfight Question: The banner of your website and the thrust of much of your teaching focuses on “revolution.” While I can see a radical call in some of the sayings of Jesus, especially if he were addressing upper-middle class North Americans, I wonder if attaching revolutionary language to his teaching seems a…
Rethinking Our View of Faith
The second conviction of the “ReKnew Manifesto” is that we need to rethink what it means to have faith. It’s my impression that many, if not most, Evangelical Christians associate their assurance that they’re “saved” with their confidence that they believe correct doctrines. This is why many, if not most, think that heretics who believe…
When the Last Few Moments Changes Everything
One of the central things ReKnew wants to accomplish is to challenge followers of Jesus to accept that the self-sacrificial love Jesus revealed on the cross is the definitive, and even the exhaustive, revelation of God’s character. Everything about God, we believe, should be understood through the lens of the cross. For most Christians, Jesus…
The One True Source
