The world-wide church is invited to reflect on and journey with this question from President Steve Veazey's closing message of World Conference 2019. We hope it shapes and guides us as we journey toward World Conference. Below are several opportunities to engage.

Living Jesus Series
Living Jesus: Formed by Christ
It was an uncomfortable prayer practice. I was invited to prayerfully imagine that I was standing before Christ on the cross, asking three questions.
Living Jesus: Moving Toward the Peaceful One
Spiritual movements are always happening within us. Gradually waking up to these movements, we discover a vast interior space where the soul and God are in constant conversation.
Living Jesus: A Spiritual Practice for Discovering Our Context
Ongoing spiritual transformation continuously calls us to become more conscious of what restricts a free and faithful response to Christ’s mission in and around us.
When thinking about Living Jesus this is what comes to mind. The actions of an individual or community that reveal Jesus.
Living Jesus: The Inward Center
