Mike Harris unpacks the moment Jesus reaches out and touches a man with leprosy in Mark 1 — a man who shouldn't have been near anyone, let alone a teacher with crowds following him. Mike traces three interlocking outsider stories: the leper who came at the wrong time, in the wrong place, with nothing to bring; the kids no one picked for football (Mike admits he was the cruel captain); and the woman on his street he instinctively crossed the road to avoid. The talk lands on the leper's question — "if you are willing" — and Jesus's two-word answer.

Dave Connolly unpacks the story of the woman at the well in John 4 — a woman who came to draw water at noon, in the hottest part of the day, to avoid the people she was ashamed to face. This talk explores what happens when Jesus goes out of his way to meet someone who is hiding, and what it means to be fully known and fully welcomed at the same time. Dave shares honestly about the areas we leave untouched, the way shame pushes us into isolation, and why being seen by Jesus can be the start of real freedom.

Most of us are walking around with a version of Jesus we've never really questioned. Gentle. Meek. Mild. Safely on a postage stamp. Matt Edmundson opens our new Jesus the Revolutionary series by asking what if the Jesus we think we know isn't the one who actually showed up? In Luke 4, Jesus walks into His hometown, announces freedom for everyone including His enemies, and nearly gets thrown off a cliff. The real Jesus is fiercely loving — too kind to leave us where we are, too disruptive to be a cosmic therapist. This is the start of a yearlong look at the Jesus we've been missing.
