    Hyper-Grace ... Hyper-Mean: The Rise of the Grace Pharisee

    In Episode 139 of "Adventures in Grace," titled "Hyper-Grace, Hyper-Mean: The Rise of the Grace Pharisee," we delve into the unsettling trend of hostility within the hyper-grace movement. Despite its foundation in the liberating message of grace, recent personal attacks by key figures, including a publisher, reveal a disconcerting shift toward exclusivity and condemnation reminiscent of the Pharisees' behavior that Jesus confronted. Our host shares personal experiences of being on the receiving end of such attacks, highlighting the irony of grace advocates displaying ungracious behavior. This episode challenges the notion of spirituality and how it's demonstrated in our treatment of others, especially those who oppose or annoy us. It contrasts the loving and inclusive approach of Jesus with the judgmental and elitist attitude of the Pharisees, prompting a reflection on what true grace looks like in action. The discussion extends to the broader community of grace preachers and warns of the potential pitfalls of aligning with those who may preach grace but exhibit mean-spiritedness. Listeners are guided through a thoughtful examination of influential figures in the modern grace movement, drawing attention to those who embody the genuine spirit of grace, like Malcolm Smith, Paul Young, Brad Jersak, Father Aidan Kimmel, and Tom Wright. The episode encourages support for these ministers while advising caution elsewhere, particularly with certain grace ministers and publishing companies. Tune into "Hyper-Grace, Hyper-Mean: The Rise of the Grace Pharisee" for a compelling discussion on the true essence of grace, the importance of authentic spiritual encounters over mere teachings, and the recognition of those who truly walk in grace's path. Discover how to discern and embrace the genuine message of grace in a world where the lines can often be blurred. #AdventuresInGrace #HyperGraceHyperMean #GraceMovement #Spirituality #ChristianPodcast #GracePharisee #MalcolmSmith #PaulYoung #BradJersak #TomWright #AlKimmel #HyperGrace
