Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus Paying Ridiculous Attention To Jesus

Join Rick and the Becky-nator for Episode 6 of Season 8 - “If It’s So ‘Easy,’ Why Am I So Worried?” - a continuation of the series “THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Rick and Becky will be exploring themes drawn from his just-released book titled Editing Jesus. In this episode we explore a conundrum—we know that Jesus told us that His “yoke is easy” and His “burden is light,” by why does real life so often feel like exactly the opposite of those descriptions? And why are we so worried if all of this is supposed to be easy and light?

Big news! We’ve re-launched Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus after a year-long sabbatical. Even bigger and better news—the Becky-nator is joining Rick again to co-host. So check out Episode 4 of Season 8 - “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” - a continuation of the series “THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Rick and Becky will be exploring themes drawn from his upcoming book (releasing June 4) titled Editing Jesus. In this episode we dive into a way of living that seems, well, weak—but in the weakness of this way living is our greatest strength. If we’re walking in the way of Jesus, then mercy, mercy, mercy will be our path. When is it okay to show mercy if a person has “broken the rules”? What’s your “line of mercy”—when you might offer it, and when you might not? And how do you invite and embrace mercy in your life?

Big news! We’ve re-launched Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus after a year-long sabbatical. Even bigger and better news—the Becky-nator is joining Rick again to co-host. So check out Episode 3 of Season 8 - “The Exclusionary Jesus” - a continuation of the series “THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Rick and Becky will be exploring themes drawn from his upcoming book (releasing June 4) titled Editing Jesus. In this episode we dive into a hard truth… Yes, Jesus was radically inclusive when he offered marginalized people dignity, or when he elevated women and Gentiles from a place of scorn, or when He chose to hang out with, and even honor, “sinners” like tax collectors and prostitutes. But when we make inclusion the superseding mission of Jesus on earth, we inevitably edit out His many, many hard boundaries and exclusions. We’ll focus on how exclusionary He often is, and discover how exclusion reflects His heart of love for us…

In this episode we’ll explore one of Jesus’ most practical teachings—this one is embedded in something that was happening in the moment, and it’s a huge help to those of us (which is all of us) living in a cultural ecosystem of self-promotion and narcissism.

Join Rick for the first episode of Season 8, continuing the series—“THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Our understanding of death, and our fear of it, colors our life. It plays in the background, like a haunting film score to our life narrative. But if we understand the way of Jesus, relative to death, we will have a much deeper understanding of what it means to live in deep peace, and we’ll discover the secret to the upending way he related to people. Jesus said “Death, where is your victory?” He longs for us to enter into that victory..
