Outrageous: The Words of Jesus That Turn Our World Upside Down

Turn the other cheek. Go the second mile. Do not worry. Store up treasure in heaven. These aren’t just spiritual soundbites. They are deeply disruptive, counter-cultural calls to live in a way that looks nothing like the world around us. Outrageous?! Maybe…but these words came from the lips of Jesus Himself.

In Outrageous, each chapter explores one of Jesus’ most radical teachings — hard sayings that still challenge and transform us today. With biblical and cultural context, as well as personal reflection, readers are invited not only to understand these teachings but also to live them out.

Designed to be both flexible and accessible, the book includes supplemental material at the end of each chapter to help individuals or groups apply the message through practical exercises, reflection, and spiritual formation practices.

Whether you’re looking for class curriculum or personal study, you’re invited to follow Jesus down the narrow way that can be seen by the world as, well…outrageous!
