420- Rome 1- Freedom from Fundamentalism

“How well do you understand the Apostle Paul’s Letter to the Romans? If you are like most people, the answer is; “Not too well.”

In today’s podcast and post we begin a new series examining the book of Romans. While this may seem like a daunting task, laden with layers of theological complexity, that assumption only means we have bought into fundamentalism’s propaganda.

In today’s podcast and post we continue our series “Psalms Greatest Hits” with a look at “Beth”, which is the second letter in the Hebrew alphabet and also the title of the next eight verses of Psalm 119.

Join me now as we slow down, and learn that the Word of God is not a cosmic rule book, but the gift of seeing which must be perceived and practiced within each moment, if it is to be applied for our freedom.

Join me now as we see beyond the manipulative power plays that religion hoists upon us and explore how the Gospel never puts us into religion, and instead, the advent of Christ becomes that voice which leads us out.

411-The Dynamic Advent for All

“Is the goal of the advent season to reflect upon the birth of Jesus and prove its historical validity? If so, then there is no possible way for us to experience it.

In today’s podcast and post I challenge the assumptions behind the traditional advent season and prove that the advent of Christ is not a static event limited to just a few in human history, but a dynamic unfolding of events.

Join me now as we see beyond the nostalgia of advent trapped in religious history and discover that the advent of Christ is still coming to everybody every day.
