For Christians Who Think Differently Grace Nation is inspired by and for doers and game-changers. It’s for the rebels, the misfits, the troublemakers, the creatives, and for the square pegs who don’t fit in round holes. It’s for those who look at the status quo and dare to dream or think differently. In a word, it’s for Christians who love the good news of Jesus and actually believe it when he says, “My kingdom is not of this world.” Here’s to the Christians. Let’s go change the world and do the stuff Jesus said to do.
