PRATJ Season 7 Ep 6 - THE WAYS OF JESUS: Pushing Back on Deception Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus

After a two-month “impromptu sabbatical,” join Rick for the third episode of the new series—“THE WAYS OF JESUS.” The influence of our self-narratives. The story we tell ourselves, about ourselves, can lead us into captivity—the captivity Jesus came to set us free from. Jesus wants to “de-bug” our narrative. In Matthew 5 we have Jesus delivering the “But I Say’s”—they’re a kind of complement to “The Beatitudes.” The “But I Say’s” are a kind of martial arts practice—Jesus uses the momentum of deception against it. “Active pushback” against deception is not just a strategy, it’s a lifestyle. It does not mean that we become distrustful people, it means we become discerning people.
