497-Easter for All…Especially Believers

Leave a reply

.  “Is Easter only for believers? Is the atonement limited to just a few, or is it as Paul says: “the free gift of God.” If the wages of sin apply to all, then so must the free gift.”

In today’s podcast and post we conclude our Easter series by highlighting a few of the implications that our recent study has brought to the surface. We’ll compare the bible once again to evangelical doctrine, and let you decide which to trust.

Join me now as we unlock Easter from its binary framework and how that establishes a gospel and evangelism that is more like the early church than it is today.

496- Freeing Judgment Day from Church History

Leave a reply

Is “the Day of Judgment” essentially a threat for people to convert to the Christian religion…or else?

In today’s podcast and post, I’ll reveal an alternative orthodoxy that has been hiding in plain sight for two-thousand years. Imagine that, a wine skin capable of holding such precious wine has been right here, but has been obscured by religion.

Join me now as I share with you a framework that opens the bible, addresses the biggest questions of life, and reveals how all sad things become untrue as everything becomes new.

495-The Gospel Beyond the Binary

Do you think the parable of the 10 virgins or the parable of the talents they tell us who goes to heaven when we die? If so, think again.

In today’s podcast and post we explore not only these two parables, but the Easter context into which they are written. We’ll learn why this dramatically alters the goal of these metaphors.

Join me now as we discover how the Gospel cannot be understood from a binary perspective, and how being “Both” opens up a much bigger message.

494- The Bible VS 80’s Rapture Culture

“Do you believe the rapture is coming any day now? If so, you’re a part of the 85% of believers who hold this. So why would Jesus give advice to his disciples about something that would happen 2000 years later?

In today’s podcast and post we examine the Olivet Discourse through its textual, and historical context of Easter. We’ll learn that Jesus’ warnings are clearly a way for his disciples to prepare for what is about to happen in their lifetime, while he offers a very different description for his return.

Join me now as we lay the bible next to Religion and raise the question of who might be deceived in the name of Christ.

493- Jesus Curses Religion: Part 2

“Is religion basically good for humanity? Or are these institutional authorities obscuring something far better?

In today’s podcast and post, we witness Jesus giving five more curses to religion. I’ll share a few examples of our common experiences with religion which indicate that after two-thousand years, very little has changed.

Join me now as we let Jesus’ condemnation sink into our own fundamental way of thinking, and allow his deconstruction to liberate us as rather than scare us.

492- Jesus Curses Religion

Hello everyone, I’m Keven Winder and thanks for tuning into another Podcast of Beyond Everything Radio and as always, I have a question for you. “Is Jesus on the side of religion? Or only one religion? Is the Christian religion, replete with 45,000 denominations, the institution Jesus was trying to inaugurate? 

In today’s podcast and post we take on Jesus’ scathing rebuke of religious fundamentalism. Despite the clarity and force of His message, the religious industrial complex clearly rejects it.

Join me now as we wade into a part of the Easter story that religion hates, and discover a counter intuitive freedom that is still being obscured by tradition.

491-Three More Temptations

“What does the questioning of Jesus by the religious authorities have to do with the Easter story?”

In today’s podcast and post, Jesus faces three more temptations prior to his crucifixion. Just like my question, they are tests, and just like our story today, our ability to answer reveals something about the resurrection.

Join me now as we follow Jesus as he lives from the power of the resurrection before he even dies, and why that’s only possible outside of religion.

490-One Hundred Nineteenth: Zayin

. “Have you every prayed the prayer asking God to ‘Remember me?’ It’s sort of amazing how these two words can say so much.”

In today’s podcast and post we return to our ongoing series entitled “Psalms Greatest Hits” staying with the 119th Psalm, and looking at the seventh section of this chapter. The Psalmist draws upon the voice and proximity of God to navigate the struggles of life, something we don’t see very often today.

Join me now as we are invited into a prayer that holds not only a messianic proximity, but the framework of true freedom. 

489- 3 of 3 Easter Parables to the Religious

“Have you heard the phrase: ‘Many are called, but few are chosen’? If so, do you think the chosen refer to the Jewish people, or perhaps the special elect of God? 

In today’s podcast and post we look at the third Easter parable that was given to the religious. I’m sure most of you have never considered the parable of the wedding banquet as an Easter parable, but that is exactly what it is.

Join me now as Jesus flips the script on our assumptions about who gets into the Kingdom of God, and who is picked out. 

488- 2 of 3 Easter Parables to the Religious

“Why does Jesus tell religion that the Kingdom of God is being taken from them and given to the heathens? Specifically, why does he say this in the midst of the Easter story?”

In today’s podcast and post we visit the second of three parables Jesus gives to religion prior to his crucifixion. These texts are often omitted from Easter, but I will build a case for why they need to be included.

Join me now as Jesus offers a story that reveals just how wrong religion is regarding the Kingdom of God
