You may have seen posters, videos or even Super Bowl advertisements from an organization called ‘He Gets Us’. Ever wonder about how this work came to be? 

St. John’s alum Kris Roggemann has been working with the He Gets Us organization since its inception in 2020, sourcing and creating music for their various campaigns. Join him for an informative show-and-tell into the motivation behind the thought-provoking messaging as well as the challenges involved with releasing this work into today’s cynical media and cultural landscape. 

The campaign strives to depict the authentic qualities of Jesus: radical forgiveness, counter-cultural compassion and acceptance. Why then do so many people associate Christianity with hypocrisy and judgement? What relevance does Jesus have in our jaded modern world filled with societal stress and divisiveness? Did Jesus experience the same human frailties and challenges as we do? How might we all rediscover the original promise of Jesus' love that his story represents These questions are at the heart of He Gets Us.

Join us to learn how the campaign's goals have evolved over time and what’s next. In the meantime, keep your eyes (and ears) open as the latest iteration of the campaign hits the airwaves this January and February.
