“Most people just assume this basic life story—that they should study hard to get a degree to get a good job to be able to afford a house and get married and have kids and put money away for retirement…its no wonder people aren’t interested in Jesus—because they don’t see how Jesus helps them progress through their life story…that unexamined life story is shallow and flawed…As Christians we need to have a well-thought through biblical life story that can stand up to the assumed story of our culture. Jesus said, after all, to seek first the kingdom of God and everything else comes after that.”
