Overcome Workshop: POV: Jesus Getting Mad

Often we imagine Jesus as gentle, loving and extremely kind. While that is true to His nature, we often don't reflect on the side of Jesus that was passionate for His people. The person who flipped tables at injustice and advocated for all. In this workshop, we're going to tackle God's heart for social justice and learn from the model Jesus gave us.
