The Jesus Code: Part One

The Jesus Code: Living Like Christ in a Complicated World


Jesus Code: a practical, scripture-rooted code of conduct for everyday living—kindness, courage, humility, and service. In this series, we explore the Jesus Code, take an assessment, participate in the 7-day challenge, and learn some key scriptures.


I’ve been thinking a lot about Jesus lately.

Not just in the way we talk about Him in church, but wondering: what was He really like?
What was His personality? His attitude to life? How did He treat people—not just His friends and followers, but strangers, the outcast, the annoying, and the hostile?

More importantly, if Jesus were alive today, how would He live?

Would He be scrolling social media?
Would He show up at your workplace?
Would He speak out online?
Would He ignore you in traffic?

The Jesus we see in Scripture is deeply human, wildly loving, fiercely truthful, and yet deeply peaceful. And honestly, when I compare Jesus to the way many of us profess to be Christian today, there’s often a big gap.

We’ve all met people who say they follow Jesus—but who are judgmental, selfish, proud, and even at times rude. We’ve all been those people, too, at times. Myself included.

The WWJD Era

I remember the 90s and early 2000s—we wore those little WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) bracelets. A small reminder that every action was a choice to either reflect Christ or not. Maybe it’s time to bring them back… not as a fashion statement, but as a lifestyle question.

Because that question still matters.
In your conversations.
In your business.
In how you treat your spouse.
In how you respond to gossip.
In how you use money.
In how you talk to the waiter.

But how do we actually live it?

Here’s where I think we need something deeper than slogans and rituals. We need a Jesus Code—not rules to follow but habits, mindsets, and a heart posture rooted in who Jesus really is.

Not religious. Not performative. Not “holier than thou.” Just real.

Here’s what it might look like:

  • Love first. Before correcting, condemning, or withdrawing.
  • Serve quietly. Without needing applause or credit.
  • Speak truth. But always with grace, never to wound.
  • Forgive quickly. Even when no one says sorry.
  • Stay grounded. Spend time with God, even in chaos.
  • Be real. Jesus didn’t perform. He was deeply authentic.
  • See people. Especially the ones others ignore.
  • Choose peace. In conflict, in politics, in relationships.
  • Obey courageously. Even when it’s costly.
  • Hope always. Jesus never gave up on people.

Bringing the Jesus Code Into Your Daily Life

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being intentional.
Here are some simple ways to begin:

  • Start your day asking, “What would Jesus do here?”
  • Journal moments where you felt misaligned with Him—not to shame, but to grow.
  • Practice silence and prayer—even just five minutes.
  • Let one “Jesus habit” guide you each week (like compassion, humility, or forgiveness).
  • Invite accountability from friends who want to grow with you.

In a noisy world full of opinions, division, and pressure, I believe we’re all craving something real. No more religion. More Jesus.

Let’s not just talk about Him.
Let’s live like Him.
Let’s rewrite the story of what it means to follow Jesus—not just with words, but with lives that quietly whisper:

“This… is what Jesus would do.”

Shalom!

The Genesis Moment

Th e Genesis Moment: Forming Order During Chaos Genesis means “beginning,” teaching us to create order from chaos. Instead of fearing disorder, we can establish structure, embrace responsibility, and build a foundation for growth. Becoming Maverick means transforming through challenges and stepping into stewardship over your life. Let's apply the Genesis Mindset today. Genesis—it means "beginning." I often find myself returning to the first few chapters of Genesis , especially when life feels out of control and chaotic or when I'm facing things I don’t fully understand. There’s something about these opening words of the Bible that carries profound wisdom—wisdom we often overlook. Becoming Maverick is about stepping back, recognizing the principles that govern life, and applying them with intention. Too often, we get caught up in religious or scientific debates about Genesis and miss the principles it offers for how life on earth actually works. But if we take a s...
