LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

If you are looking for a:

hellfire and brimstone
sin focused
rapture obsessed
politically charged
condemning
judgmental
KJV only
culture warring
flag waving
gay bashing
patriarchal
committee structured
performance driven
building centered
spiritual experience,
the movement of Jesus probably isn’t for you.

However, if your heart longs for a:
hopeful
kingdom seeking
Spirit empowered
justice minded
community serving
interactive
welcoming
inclusive
affirming
encouraging
radically forgiving
merciful
enemy loving
non-violent
faith lived out of a heart full of God’s unconditional love
then the revolution that Jesus started over 2,000 years ago just might just be the journey your soul longs for.

Accept no substitutes.
