Season 8 Episode 3 - The Exclusionary Jesus Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus

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…
