    So you've checked out the Defeat Death section, you've seen some serious stories from all kinds of different people about how Jesus changed their lives, but that's all it was to you, stories. No brilliant revelation, not enough to change your mind, your perspectives, or how you choose to live your life. You've still got questions, you've still got issues, and you know what, that's normal, that's cool, and that's totally ok. D2L isn't here for people who have everything in life figured out, it's here to help people like we once were, like you, and like most everyone else, who are searching for more in this life. So lets talk about it, ask questions, and work on figuring this whole Jesus thing out together. Let your questions, your frustrations, your hopes, you fears and everything else out and then we all can work this life out together rather than alone.

    Gospel generally means good news. So you could, for example, hear the gospel of pizza, the good news about how great pizza is. In this case and for most people when they hear gospel they think of the Gospel of Jesus. The good news that Jesus came to rescue broken, lost people, to love the unloved, heal the sick, take care of orphans and widows, and make it ok to not be ok. The gospel as we talk about isn't driven by religion, (which simply means the act of doing something consistently), but by the truth of what Jesus did to get us back into a personal relationship with God, the way he first created us to be, without pain, without death, and with him forever. Jesus and his death is what makes that possible for all who believe, and we think that is absolutely amazingly good news. That's what we mean when we talk about the gospel
