Synopsis

Read by the author.Discover Jesus' goals of togetherness, oneness, and unity in an increasingly divided world. When you learn to confront the areas in your heart that might not love as Jesus loved, you can help build a flourishing, Christ-like culture.Throughout his ministry, Jesus specifically bridged the gap with the ostracized, outcast, and overlooked. He told his followers to do the same. The gospel message is for everyone—and our mission as believers is to make disciples of Jesus, not duplicates of ourselves. This requires us to live and love beyond our preferences, to build relationships with those who are different from us, and to go beyond the boundaries of unspoken rules and invisible lines. It's time to break the strongholds of division that have been passed down from generation to generation.In Love Outside the Lines, Jimmy Rollins willexpand the gospel message of Christ beyond the lines of cultural norms,show us how to follow in Jesus' footsteps by moving away from racial stereotypes and moving toward things that unite us,empower a culture of people willing to be part of the conversation on racial reconciliation,help us embrace the kingdom truth that we are better together than we are divided, andexemplify a life of dynamic diversity at church, work, and home. Join Jimmy on a powerful journey to rediscover the discipleship of diversity that leads to unity. Together, we will confront our comfort-zone barriers—both known and unknown—and take a detour to pursue the kind of diverse relationships and honest dialog that build a flourishing Christ culture.Reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

About Jimmy Rollins

Jimmy Rollins is the former lead pastor of i5 City Church just outside of Baltimore, Maryland. A revelatory preacher, visionary leader, and generous pastor, Jimmy’s entire ministry is fueled by Jesus’ command to serve the least of these. He and his wife, Irene, founded i5 City Church on that premise and mission, and together they have built an influential church known for local outreach and global impact. Jimmy also serves as an overseer for a variety of churches throughout the country, and in his position as a strategic partner of the Association of Related Churches (ARC), he has had many opportunities to teach countless churches and church leadership teams all over the world. Jimmy is also a champion for the marginalized in society, and through his work in the area of racial reconciliation, Jimmy has mediated many conversations promoting awareness, healing, and unity. On June 7, 2020, Pastor Jimmy led over 2,000 community members in a Walk for Justice, a peaceful demonstration promoting justice and racial equality. This event at the City Dock of Annapolis brought together people of all colors and faiths, as well as police officers and government officials, in an effort to speak out against racism in America. Jimmy and Irene have been married for more than twenty years, and, although they have walked through extremely difficult seasons, they can testify to God’s transformative healing power in bringing them to a place of mutual health and joy. Together they lead a vibrant church and parent their three wonderful “almost-grown” children, Kayla, Jaden, and Maya.
