"Real Jesus Knew How to Party"Some of us have been told that Jesus was tight-laced, super serious, and overall kind of a bummer. But scripture paints a very different picture. Come hear about the savior of all creation, who was also called a drunk and a glutton by the religious authorities of his day.

Some of us have been told that Jesus was tight-laced, super serious, and overall kind of a bummer. But scripture paints a very different picture. Come hear about the savior of all creation, who was also called a drunk and a glutton by the religious authorities of his day. Hear about the wedding he took to the next level, and why joy, beauty, and fun are a fundamental part of the kingdom that Jesus invites us into.

You've heard about Jesus, right?

The inexplicably blonde guy who grew up in the Middle East 2,000 years ago, but somehow has the sensibilities of a modern Midwestern White American? The polite, rule-following, calm, non-confrontational, pro-government, super pious guy who was very nice but always looking down his nose at people enjoying themselves just a little *too* much?

Yeah, that guy is not Jesus. That’s an imposter.

The real Jesus of Nazareth was a rule breaker.
He was confrontational. He was a creative resister of a government with which he was in constant public conflict. He hung out with the wrong crowd and had a reputation for loving his wine.And, of course, he was brown (what with being Middle Eastern).

We promise, he's way better than that blonde guy you heard about.
