485-Jesus and the Religious Industrial Complex

“Why do you suppose that the story of Jesus throwing out the moneychangers in the temple has virtually no impact on pastors and running the church like a business?”

In today’s podcast and post, we continue following Christ into one of his most subversive acts toward religion. I’ll provide the historical context and compare it to the modern-day Sunday Big Show.

Join me now as we look closely at Jesus’ angry rebuke upon religion, and ask ourselves why the modern church continues to ignore his message.

458-Rome 32: Applying Paul’s Letter

“When Paul wrote his letters to Churches, was he trying to write the Bible? If Paul’s words are authoritative now, then are so many churches still preaching conversion to religion?

In today’s final episode of our series in the book of Romans, we take all we’ve learned from Paul’s Gospel and deconstruction of his religion, and apply it to our modern world where church has become big business.

Join me now as I invite all comers out of institutional overreach, and return to a simple model of Christ following, and loving one another, for which our world is waiting.
