“I can’t believe this!” “Did that really just happen?” “I'm at a loss for words.” “You have some nerve!”
Statements like these reveal the shock and awe we have when we witness someone acting or speaking in ways that appear audacious. But what happens when that person is God? What do we say and how do we respond when the person being audacious is none other than Jesus of Nazareth?
Get ready to be shaken to the core by the audacious nature of God's plan to rescue us from darkness and set our hearts ablaze with a passion to spread His radical love. Buckle up because we're about to witness The Audacity of God!
