Jesus had Questions, Too
Did you know Jesus asked hundreds of questions and, according to biblical scholars, directly answered less than five in the Gospels? His constant questioning approach in search of beauty and truth is one we hope to embody. We don’t have all the answers, but would love if you would join us on a journey of discovery.
Who are we? What do we do?
We’re a group of people moved to raise the public conversation about Jesus. We create, curate, and connect people to stories and experiences that reveal the authentic Jesus.
What’s our connection with He Gets Us?
That's one of our projects that we acquired. He Gets Us is focused on (re)introducing people to Jesus and inviting them to explore his life and teachings in today’s context. You probably have seen He Gets Us on some big stages—we’re working to raise the public conversation about Jesus because we believe he has merit for all people today, regardless of their beliefs.
But He Gets Us is just the beginning. Come Near has a whole range of projects in the works, all focused on sharing the love and message of Jesus in disruptive and personally engaging ways.
Who is the team behind the scenes?
We’re a group of people moved to raise the public conversation about Jesus and invite people to reconsider Jesus himself. We are supported by people and partners that may represent many different views but are unified in support of our mission. This includes advisors, collaborators and creative partners, investors, and the governing Board of Directors of Come Near.
Our board of directors:
Rob Hoskins (Chairman)
Nicole Martin
John Kim
Mart Green
Joey Sager
Gary Nelson
What drives us?
We think exploring the teachings and life of the authentic Jesus is a worthy undertaking.
We believe the person of Jesus is the key to interpreting history and human purpose. He is more than just a historical figure, and more than a philosophy or a set of rules. By studying his life, death, and resurrection, we discover his cadence, his emotional core, his steps toward others, and the acts that defined him.
Scandal, corruption, and political interference have created a convoluted cultural association with Jesus and those connected with his name. We’re challenging our own assumptions and preconceived notions about who he is and creating space to doubt, question, and discover Jesus is who he says he is.
Are we a part of a group or a church?
We’re not affiliated with any specific denomination or political group. We are inspired by the person of Jesus and are moved to invite all people – including those who believe, those spiritually curious, and those simply unsure – to reconsider Jesus.
