THE PARADOX OF DISCONTENT

A new way to explore the story of Jesus' life and teachings.

WHAT IS HE GETS US?

Do we have greatness all wrong?

We’re taught that greatness is defined by our status, achievements, and the amount of recognition we receive. But Jesus had a different idea. He exemplified and taught others that greatness was beneath the surface. That true greatness is defined by the content of our character, hearts, and willingness to serve others.

Arno’s Story: Learning to say “I love you.”

Saying “I love you” and truly meaning it can be hard for so many reasons. Maybe it’s hard because you’re afraid to say something you don’t mean, or maybe it’s hard because to say those words is to make yourself more vulnerable than you’re willing to be. Either way, getting our hearts and our words to align is no small task, but we think doing just that is a big part of what it means to be pure in heart — one of the character traits Jesus calls blessed. It’s not easy, but we think it’s worth it, and Arno’s story is a testament to that. Jesus’ love is like a second language. It takes practice.

Mona’s Story: Learning to Say “Goodbye.”

Goodbyes are hard. Final goodbyes can be devastating. So, what was Jesus talking about when he said, “Blessed are those who mourn”? We sat down with Mona to talk about grief and goodbyes to see what she’s learned and how she’s grown from her own life experience. It’s a moving story and a testament to the power of learning to love the way Jesus did. His love is like a second language. It takes practice.

Giuliano’s Story: Learning to say “I forgive you.”

Whether your heart language is Italian like Giuliano’s, English, or any other, “I forgive you” can be one of the hardest things to say — especially when it comes to long-standing brokenness in family relationships. It can feel almost impossible. But Jesus taught that a merciful life is a flourishing one, so how can we take steps toward learning forgiveness even when it’s hard? Jesus’ love is like a second language. It takes practice.

Mely’s Story: Learning to Say “I Was Wrong.”

Admitting when we’re wrong is incredibly difficult. It hurts our pride, it empties us. But Jesus praised humility. He said, “Blessed are the meek.” We talked to Mely about the tug-of-war between humility and pride—about balancing perfectionism and our own limitations. Mely discovered something that we think Jesus pointed to—that there is serious strength found in admitting weakness. It’s just not so easy to do because Jesus’ love is like a second language. It takes practice.

The love Jesus taught is like a second language–it takes practice.
