THE BATTLE
When Numbers Are Speaking Louder
In the USA, the divorce rate was 2.4 per 1,000 total population in 2022 [1]. While this is an improvement compared to 4.0 in 2000, a rate of 2.4 is still considered high. According to the PEW Research Center, out of a sample of 4,752 individuals, the divorce rate for Protestants (identified as non-Catholic Christians) was approximately 51% [2][3]. the highest among other religious groups. Sadly, this group, which should be highly aware of God’s blueprint for marriage, has been associated with high divorce rates.

THE REALITY
What's Going On?
In light of many well-known ministries today, it seems the statistics do not reflect a compatible outcome. Looking back at the recorded ministry work of Jesus Christ, we can recognize His various methods of sharing truth. He often asked questions, which have evolved into today’s apologetics ministry. He made powerful statements that are echoed by church leaders today. He shared numerous stories, like parables, in response to inquiries, which can be seen as modern attempts to share testimonies.
THE MOVEMENT
Our Faith Goal
Our prayer is for the CJ2 Movement to share the gospel and promote discipleship through storytelling, just as Jesus Christ did. In collaboration with church leaders, teachers, and apologists, we hope these stories will inspire many married individuals. Such encouragement can lead to life-changing decisions that anchor their marriages in Jesus Christ.
