Description

What if being religious isn’t the answer?

Most people think following Jesus is about being good, trying harder, or doing all the right spiritual things. But that’s not what Jesus taught. In a late-night encounter with a religious leader named Nicodemus, Jesus flips everything upside down with one bold truth: you don’t need a better version of yourself—you need a brand new you.

Whether you’ve walked away from religion, feel stuck in guilt, or wonder if God could ever accept you, this message is for you. Jesus’ invitation isn’t about self-improvement—it’s about starting over. Not by trying harder, but by letting God make you new from the inside out.
