ABBAology with Jake Stringer Jake Stringer

What if the Angel of Death had refused when asked to slay those without "blood on the doorposts?"  What forms of "blood on the doorposts," do you need to notice about people for you to "pass them over" and not attack them.  As you progress theologically/spiritually, the people from your previous camps will see less and less blood on your posts and may eventually attack if they don't see enough similarities....also politically....this can come from close family and friends....it's lonely.  What's worth more to you?  

Super stoked for this podcast!  I believe you'll really enjoy it as we look at symbolic and allegorical ways to view and receive encouragement, revelation, and wisdom from the Easter narrative.  The scriptures are full of life and can be so powerful and helpful now that we've weened off of the fear-based theology so many of us were raised in.

Stoked to be back at it!  Let's talk about OT violence :)

So not being under a covenant is a big idea, so let's do a few epidodes on it instead of rushing through.  This is huge! In this episode we go back in time in our lives to find out why we ever believed, and then continued believing we needed to be in a covenant with God.  

God meets us in our perception not our reality.  This is where he can connect with us.  Sometimes the reality about you is too wonderful for you to even handle yet.  

Certain teachings are like a red shirt in a load of whites when it comes to our theological structures, and none more than the doctrine of original sin/sin nature.  This toxic doctrine pollutes our entire self-opinion and opinion of the world around us.  This episode also discusses the balance of dressing, keeping, and resting, and how sometimes a pendulum swing is necessary during transition to balance.
