In this episode of Chasing Elephants, Jeff sits down with author, speaker, and ministry leader Shane Pruitt to talk about his timely and thought-provoking new book, Not My Jesus. Shane challenges us to confront one of the most pressing issues in today’s culture: the tendency to reshape Jesus into an image that fits our personal preferences, cultural trends, and political categories. In a world where truth is often traded for comfort, many have crafted a version of Jesus who affirms their desires, aligns with their ideologies, and avoids making them uncomfortable. But the question remains…Is this the REAL Jesus of Scripture? You can purchase Not My Jesus at Lifeway.com or wherever books are sold.

Today, we are slowing down to focus on what is most important — the cross and the empty tomb. As believers, Holy Week is not just a date on the calendar — it’s the very center of our faith. So today, we want to journey together from Palm Sunday to Good Friday to Easter Sunday, reflecting deeply on what these days truly mean for us.

As we approach Holy Week, we want to pause and reflect on two significant events—Passover and Palm Sunday—and how they connect in profound ways through the person and work of Jesus Christ. Our purpose in this episode is simple: to help prepare our hearts to fully embrace and understand the depth of Holy Week, as we look at Jesus as both King and Lamb.

The Question of God’s Mission: What Story is God Telling? As leaders, our calling is not just to build ministries, but to align ourselves with God’s mission—to join in the work He is already doing in the world. Right now, we are witnessing signs of revival in various places, and today, we’re asking a crucial question: What story is God telling?

As ministry leaders, our personal spiritual formation is essential. We cannot pour into others what we do not possess ourselves. That’s why one of the foundational questions we ask at YPS is: Who are we becoming?

What is Youth Pastor Summit (YPS)? YPS is a two-day conference that brings together student pastors, educators, and volunteers for a time of community, learning, and soul-care. As a ministry of Student Leadership University, YPS is designed to equip and inspire those who invest in the next generation.
