Followers of Jesus are those who have embraced his promise of abundant life. But if we’re honest, the life Jesus offers is sometimes confused with the beautifully appointed, neatly arranged images out of Better Homes & Gardens – and when it doesn’t quite measure up, we become disillusioned or disappointed.

Join the Center for Public Christianity as Dr. Jonathan Pennington, Biblical scholar, author and teacher, helps us redefine the good life and rediscover Jesus who shows us how to live deeply meaningful and flourishing lives.
