HOW TO PROCEED

Welcome to The Great Invitation

This website is not attempting to explain tragedy.

What follows is the examination of a claim: an experience described as prophetic—is placed before you for careful consideration. It aims to focus your attention on the present, not predict the future. This definition honors the biblical tradition of prophecy while remaining open to scrutiny.


THE GREAT INVITATION OFFERS THIS QUESTION

Can the alleged prophetic experience move you from:

curiosity → attention → action

The action can be as simple as sharing this website and/or engaging with the Choose Love Movement.


WHAT THIS PROJECT IS

The Great Invitation is an inquiry presented in an unusual format: an AI simulated courtroom proceeding.

  • The trial seeks no verdict, only action
  • The jury is you, the reader

The project brings together:

  • theology
  • history
  • movies
  • music
  • sports
  • and one personal experience that started out of love but was interrupted by a very public tragedy

All of it is presented with restraint, skepticism, and clear limits.


WHAT THIS PROJECT IS NOT

To be clear:

  • This is not an explanation for tragedy
  • No suffering is assigned purpose, meaning, or justification
  • Coincidences are never presented as causes
  • Numbers and dates function only as attention markers
  • No supernatural proof is claimed
  • No one is told what to believe

If you’re skeptical, you’re welcome here.
If you’re religious, you’re welcome here.
If you’re undecided, you’re exactly who this is for.


WHY A TRIAL?

Courtroom seal

Courts exist to examine difficult questions carefully.

This project borrows the structure of a trial—not to imitate law, but to discipline inquiry:

  • claims are defined
  • limits are stated
  • witnesses are examined
  • objections are allowed
  • uncertainty is preserved

The format slows thinking down and prevents speculation from outrunning evidence.


CORE TERMS (FOR THIS PROCEEDING)

Prophetic experience refers here to an event or pattern that draws sustained moral attention in the present. No claim of prediction or causation is made.

Attention markers are recurring dates, numbers, or symbols recognized after the fact and constrained by explicit limits.


ABOUT THE INVITATION

The Invitation is not evidence.
It is not part of the trial record.

It’s a potential cinematic experience.

It is a vision—a possible outcome—in which public attention is drawn, at scale, toward the Choose Love Movement.

Think of it as a “what if,” not a claim.

The Invitation centers on the story of our last witness—Scarlett Lewis, founder of the Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement. Scarlett’s six-year old son Jesse died heroically, saving nine of his classmates in the Sandy Hook tragedy.

The Invitation is called such because the ending is taken from the last four chapters of The Book of Revelation: a wedding in eternity. The groom is Jesus and the bride, symbolically, is his people.
