An excerpt from the introduction: "The cultural, religious, political, relational, and familial divides are growing stronger; the arguments are becoming more explosive; and the defending of our opinions is growing more and more intense. Even a global pandemic, which had the potential to unite us and draw us together, has driven us further apart. If there is ever a time for the church to see a crucial opportunity to bring hope to our current context, this is it. The widening of extremes provides the church a fertile opportunity to live in the midst of the tension, to live in radical love and faithfulness between the extremes." —J.R. Briggs Praise for The Sacred Overlap “To embrace both/and faith is risky—and rewarding—business. It’s risky for those who prefer control to trust, simplification to nuance. It’s rewarding for those who appreciate just how much surprise is involved in following Jesus. The Sacred Overlap will prove immensely helpful for both personal discipleship and corporate mission.” —JEN POLLOCK MICHEL, award-winning author of Surprised by Paradox “This book is profound and powerful, witty and wise, light in touch, but loaded with weighty gems. It is a goldmine of insights and inspiration. J.R. Briggs has written the book we have all been waiting for.” —LEONARD SWEET, bestselling author, professor, and founder of preachthestory.com “This book should be read by all those who want to be formed into someone who can personally participate in crossing divides and working for a genuinely restorative common good—and are willing to have their assumptions challenged every step of the way.” —TOD BOLSINGER, author of Canoeing the Mountains “J.R. Briggs writes with thoughtful discernment about how the nuance and complexity of life can find resolution in the peace of Christ, even when we don't have all the answers. I am deeply grateful for this book.” —EMILY P. FREEMAN, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Next Right Thing About the Author J.R.
