In A Time of Fear, Hate, and Violence -- Go Back to Jesus
Jim Wallis

There is a type of question I get all the time, most recently
during the book tour for Christ in Crisis: Why We Need to
Reclaim Jesus. The questions that came from countless
pastors and lay leaders in local churches were this: "What
can I do as this political and spiritual crisis gets worse and
worse? How do we even begin to respond to the enormous needs and
stakes of this moment in American history and the future of
Christianity in this country?"

I believe the answer to these questions, now more than ever, is
go to back to Jesus and help fellow believers and seekers to do
the same. Don't mistake me: While a personal relationship
with Jesus Christ is central to my life and identity,
what the country most urgently needs in this moment is
to see Christians following the example and teachings of Jesus of
Nazareth.

... Next month, we embark upon the liturgical season of Lent.
There will be calls for prayer, fasting, and repentance. Even
now, I know many pastors and small group and Bible study
facilitators are planning their seasonal studies. To that end, we
are providing you with a resource, a practical tool, to help
those who wish to actively discuss and explore what it will take
to reclaim Jesus in this time of spiritual and political crisis,
particularly in the context of Lent.
