Why did we start this company? It comes down to following a Rabbi who lived 2,000 years ago. Our motivation comes from Jesus, who says such things as, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:29)
Jesus did not mince words. He spoke in parables and in paradox, but not in contradiction. He spoke to the broken-hearted and the self-satisfied, the suffering and the accomplished. He comforted the broken-hearted and challenged those who have much. He told the “haves” of his time, “From everyone who has been given much, much [is required]; from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more [is] asked.(Luke 12:48)
He calls us to work and rest, to give and receive, to be broken and healed. He is the beginning and end of all that we are at Step Up. He is the Author and Perfecter of life itself. In Him we live and breathe and have our being.
