The trailer “Jonathan & Jesus” dropped Saturday, and you’ll be watching the full series on Amazon Prime by the time this evening rolls around, if not before.

As we walk into 2024, most of us are scared. You can pretend you’re not, but you are. The world, particularly America, is at the brink of social collapse. We’re more terrified of our neighbors than ever before, but shows like this do so much good in reminding us we’re not alone. There are plenty of people who just want to share the unconditional love of our Lord and Savior, and not make things worse.
