497-Easter for All…Especially Believers

 “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

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.

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.

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

487- 1 of 3 Easter Parables to the Religious

This Easter, pastors and teachers are going to offer outsiders a way to reconnect with God because that is essentially the business of religion. But what if access to God is outside of religion? What would your pastor say about that?

In today’s podcast and post we consider our first of three Easter parables which are not favorable toward the religious mind. If we are to truly experience Easter this year, perhaps we need to adopt Jesus’ integral teaching about religion.

Join me now as we follow Christ back into the temple where he offers a parable to the religious mind, and reveals how all comers can access God and His Kingdom now.

484-Inevitable Terrible Traps: part 2

“Does it really make a difference if the Bible isn’t interpreted correctly? When a passage doesn’t make sense, or seems impossible, how many people just move on from it as if it doesn’t really matter?

In today’s podcast and post I will offer an interpretation that I hope will help you, and that will free you from having this verse misused against you. 

Join me now as class is in session, and we follow Christ into one of his most controversial conversations, and do our best to hear his teaching again…for the very first time.

482-Who’s the Best?

“Is there anything wrong with wanting to be the best? To be the next greatest thing? Of course not, unless you’re trying to go to heaven.

In today’s podcast and post, we shadow Christ in one of his teachings about heaven. He gives explicit instructions on how we are to enter it, and surprisingly everything religion told us we needed to do is not even mentioned.

Join me now as we hear this story again for the very first time, and consider who really is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

479-Fix Your Faith 6: Freedom From Religion

“When I use the title ‘freedom from religion’ do you assume I’m suggesting we leave get rid of these institutions?”

In today’s podcast and post I’ll discuss the next institutional authority that must be subverted if we truly desire freedom in our lives. The only way to fix our faith is to accurately define religion and then become free of its name.

Join me now as I reveal why the religious industrial complex should never have become big business, and why freedom from religion is the only path to reform the Church and restore its power and message.
