“Who do you say that I am?”

It is one of the most significant questions any of us will ever answer. Yet today, the world seems more confused than ever about the response. We have turned Jesus into a "safe" figure: a moral teacher, a social activist, or a wise prophet. We often reshape Him to fit our own comfort zones and cultural narratives. But what happens when we strip away the misconceptions and see Jesus clearly?

In this episode of In & For, we sit down with Josh Newell, Executive Director of the Jesus Film Project. Josh shares incredible insights from a ministry that has reached billions of people in over 2,000 languages. Together, we discuss the global "category crisis" surrounding Jesus and why the "real" Jesus is so much more radical and more hopeful than the "safe" versions we create.

In this conversation, we explore:

• The Global Perspective: Why 3 billion people still have not heard the name of Jesus and the "injustice" of that gap.
• Heart Language and Dignity: How hearing the Gospel in a native tongue (including the first ever Jesus Film for the Deaf) removes barriers to the heart.
• The "Idol Maker" Problem: How our hearts naturally tend to reshape Jesus into something non-threatening.
• Post-Christian Lessons: What the U.S. can learn from the "post-church" culture of France about listening and engaging in spiritual conversations.
• The Next Generation: A first look at the upcoming Animated Jesus Film designed for Gen Alpha and the visual "heart language" of the future.

Practical Next Steps for You:

1. Get Honest: Ask yourself where you have reshaped Jesus to fit your life instead of letting Him reshape you.
2. Start a Conversation: This week, ask one person, "Who do you think Jesus is?" and just listen.
3. Watch the Story: Experience the Gospel of Luke anew at JesusFilm.org/watch.

"The Jesus you believe in is the Jesus you follow." Join us as we cut through the noise to see Him for who He truly is.

Does "Living Your Truth" feel more like a heavy burden than a breakthrough?

In 1994, the average 21-year-old had seen 300,000 ads. Today, that number is 38 million. We are constantly told we have the power to control our lives, define our identities, and create our own truth. But as we discuss, with Jonathan Morrow, when we become our own highest authority, we don't actually find freedom; we find a crushing sense of performance and despair.

In this episode, we cut through the cultural fog surrounding "Expressive Individualism" to discover why the "authentic self" is a shaky foundation for a life.

We dive deep into:

• The Rise of Scientism: How the loss of moral knowledge left us with nothing but power struggles.
• The Freedom Paradox: Why modern freedom (doing whatever you want) is actually a form of slavery to our shifting desires.
• The "Ought" Problem: Why we never feel like we’re "enough" when we are the ones setting the standards.
• The Antidote: How moving from autonomy to obedience actually grants us the freedom to flourish.

"Freedom is found in cooperating with how God designed us to be." Join us for a conversation that moves past the debate and toward the relief found in the authority of Jesus.
