I’d like to tell you a story.

to begin.
Read them slowly. Push back if you need to.

03Therefore, there has never been nothing.
If this is true, it raises a question. We’re here, right? So what the heck happened?
What — or maybe who — has always existed?
These are some of the conversations that flow from that conclusion.
Why is the world both beautiful and wounded?

WHAT ABOUT JESUS?
Jesus is not a secret plot twist we reveal at the end. He’s the reason we’re asking.
The argument doesn’t prove Jesus. It opens questions about reality, suffering and hope—and I don’t think you can take those questions seriously and leave him out of them.
Before the institutions, labels and accumulated religious culture, there is Jesus himself. Who is this man? What did he say and do? What did he see in people? Why should I listen to him? Could he help me?
You don’t have to agree with Jesus before you encounter him. Why not listen for a while?
