Our Story
Jesus Is began as a question — the most important one anyone can ask — and became a ministry built on the conviction that knowing Him changes everything.
The Beginning
Jesus Is started with a simple but profound conviction: that most believers in the modern church have tried to change through willpower — new commitments, more discipline, fighting the flesh — and found themselves back where they started, exhausted.
TRANSFORMED FOR GOOD puts words to what so many believers feel but can't explain: goodness was never meant to be something you manufacture. The Good Man Trap. The Great Exchange. A character you were never meant to form on your own. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
That's what this ministry exists to give you.
"When you discover who Jesus truly Is, everything else — your identity, your purpose, your peace — falls into place."
To help believers encounter the fullness of Christ as revealed in the original language of the New Testament — and to live from that encounter, not just know about it.
We do that through the Jesus Is ebook, the 8-module course, and a community rooted in the ancient words that reveal who He Is.
Truth over tradition. We go back to the original text — not to be academic, but to be accurate.
Grace over performance. Jesus doesn't ask you to try harder. He asks you to receive more.
Transformation, not information. The goal isn't a bigger theological vocabulary — it's a deeper experience of Christ.
Three Foundations
We begin with the truth that Jesus alone saves — by His grace, through faith. That is the foundation everything else is built on.
Salvation is the beginning, not the end. We believe in an ongoing transformation from glory to glory as we behold who He is.
The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth — and that truth sets us free. We trust the Spirit to make the Word alive in every student.
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."— John 14:6
"I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."— John 15:5
"It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God."— Galatians 2:20
"But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image (eikon) from glory (doxa) to glory."— 2 Corinthians 3:18
"For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness (dikaiosyne) of God."— 2 Corinthians 5:21
"For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery."— Galatians 5:1
For Funders & Partners
Many sincere believers experience the Christian life as a performance they can never finish — and leaders in smaller, under-resourced churches often lack affordable, Scripture-rich study material a volunteer can lead. Jesus Is answers both needs with a complete small-group discipleship model that is already built and live.
Transformed For Good: an 8-chapter ebook with an 8-session Group Discussion Guide, an 8-module leader course, a free Chapter 1, two free original worship songs, and “Wear the Word” Scripture apparel that keeps the message visible after the study ends.
One-minute leader check-ins after each session, an anonymous week-1 and week-8 reflection, and website and QR tracking. We report group totals only, never individual answers.
Sponsoring study kits and shirts for groups that can’t afford them (about $200 per group of 10), producing course and group materials, and outreach that brings new groups in.
Jesus Is is a Christian ministry business, not a registered 501(c)(3) charity. Gifts and sponsorships are not tax-deductible at this time. We gladly provide a project summary, budget and progress reports on request.
