Why Upside Down?
Regardless of how you view Jesus Christ, whether you see him just as a historical figure or as God in the flesh sent to rescue humanity, there is no denying the impact He has had on culture. His presence, His words, and His followers have continued to shape culture, civilizations, and everyday life for people across the globe for the past 2,000 years. Jesus Christ is the G.O.A.T. when it comes to influencers of global culture!
Jesus' teaching on His Upside Down Kingdom refers to the radically different way He taught His followers to see power, greatness, success, and life itself. It’s called “upside-down” because it flips the values of this world on their head. What the world calls strength, Jesus calls weakness. What the world calls foolish, Jesus calls wise. What the world sees as losing, Jesus says is how you truly win.
In the Upside Down Kingdom:
Greatness comes through serving.
Power comes through weakness.
Losing your life is how you find it.
Blessing comes through generosity.
The King wins by dying.
WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
The Upside Down Kingdom invites us to:
Stop striving and start trusting.
Lay down our rights and pick up our cross.
Trade anxiety for peace.
Trade self-focus for others-focus.
Trade temporary gain for eternal glory.
Live with courage, humility, and radical love.
As followers of the Way of Jesus, we recognize that it is sometimes hard to live this Way and, personally, we often need reminded. This realization led to the birth of Upside Down Kingdom - inspired apparel for practicing the Way of Jesus. Clothing you actually like to wear that inspires yourself and those around you to live the Way of Jesus.
TOGETHER, LET'S SEE OUR WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN!
