  1. What’s it all about?
  2. Is it a good thing?
  3. Or, how can I get involved?

He Gets Us is backed by months of in-depth research and was created to help people meet and relate to the “real Jesus” of the Bible. A budget in excess of one hundred million dollars makes He Gets Us the largest faith campaign in history.
