Red Revolution Seeing the World Through the Lens of Christ

Overview

We all see the world through our own lenses—formed through a lifetime of history, relationships, religious affiliations, etc. Problem is, those lenses color everything we see. And that’s led to separation along the lines of race, culture, and economics. In fact, the one place that should embrace diversity—the church—still allows differences to keep us apart. Now, imagine how different the world would be if Christ-followers started to see themselves, each other, and the world through the lens of Christ?

Enter the Red Revolution. It’s a call for young adults to embrace cultural differences. Not pretend they don’t exist. But to accept each other the way God sees us. With no class differences or status discrimination. Just flesh and blood. Believers in Christ first and foremost. Join the revolution.
