The widening of political, racial, generational, and religious
differences leads too often to an "us vs. them" mentality. The
Sacred Overlap communicates a refreshing vision that embraces
tension and shows us how to live in radical love and faithfulness
between the extremes that isolate and divide people. The gospels
display how Jesus was committed to crossing the either/or waters of
the cultural and societal wars of his day. His miracles and
parables often broke or ignored religious and political lines that
seemed all important. He comforted the disturbed and disturbed the
comfortable. Using Jesus' example, J. R. Briggs offers a fresh and
relevant understanding of evangelism and discipleship in our
present time of extreme polarization. Without sacrificing biblical
integrity, The Sacred Overlap is a joyful exploration of the
complexity of life in the peace of Christ. With careful
discernment, Briggs: Shares creative ways to engage with God's
mission of ministering to those who are intrigued by Jesus but
turned off by church. Explores what it means to be joyful in the
midst of heart-wrenching pain and earthly suffering. Models what it
means to maintain a posture of convicted civility which emphasizes
both grace and truth. The Sacred Overlap helps readers see how
Christians are called to live with their feet firmly planted in two
different worlds-in both heaven and earth-living naturally with
both the sacred and the ordinary. Only then can a Christian be a
faithful witness and disciple of Jesus.
