 According to Jesus, the kingdom of heaven is an invisible reality that modifies the visible culture surrounding it. The parable of the yeast implies that a micro expression of God’s kingdom, done in secret, will alter the world on a macro level. The world is blessed when church folk take a pass on power, position, and privilege, and choose instead to lead beloved communities in the simple way of Jesus.   Think Red explores the upside down kingdom of Jesus and invites the reader to imagine a community built on his counter–cultural values.
