Truth And Transparency Matthew Alexander

Consider this a venting session... no structure or plan at all. With so much going on simultaneously, it’s been difficult to process any of it. This was a moment to do that, I pray that God speaks to you through it. We are in continuous prayers for all those we’ve lost from COVID-19... those we’ve lost from pure hate... George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Dreasjon Reed, Rayshard Brooks... for the countless women we’ve failed... Oluwatoyin Salau, Kenneka Jenkins... and those we’ve lost because of their identity/sexual orientation, including the many Black Transgender people we’ve lost, often without acknowledgement.

Can you have a relationship with Jesus without needing the Church? We discuss whether or not it's important to be a part of a local gathering. Are there valid reasons for staying away? We dive into the common bad experiences surrounding judgement, hypocrisy, and money-hungry motives of churches that push people away. 

We dive into the topic of supernatural forgiveness. Are we weakened by an ability to forgive or are we portrayed as weak because of it?
