    A Thorough Cleanse

    A Thorough Cleanse

    Finally!! After much anticipation and incredible patience from our vast fan base, Sweet Jesus returns with Season 2! An increasingly epic set of shows that continues to reshape the way we hear the words of Jesus. In this first episode of SJ!P Season 2 we explore one of Jesus' most violent moments. Jesus is clearing out the temple, knocking over tables and braiding a whip. Soul Pastor and sole pastor of Mission Liberty Hill, Rev. Michael Cofer helps us unpack why Jesus ain't so sweet on selling wares up in the temple complex.

    S1 Ep23 Be Perfect

    S1 Ep23 Be Perfect

    “You’ve heard that it was said…” What does this phrase mean anyway? Who was Jesus talking to and about what? Why is Wayne Gretzky involved? What’s a zealot? This might be truly the sweetest of the most difficult things Jesus ever says. What does perfect look like? Join us as we discuss God’s idea of perfect in Scott Heare’s last episode as the other official Co-host of Sweet Jesus. You won’t want to miss this one as not only does it conclude Season One, but is the best episode we’ve produced that did not include a guest. We love you Scott! Godspeed on your next adventure!

    S1 E22 uhh... One More Thing...

    S1 E22 uhh... One More Thing...

    It's good to be rich unless you're the young guy Jesus was talking to in Luke 18. Does he sell everything? Does he follow Jesus? Well, nobody really knows, but we do get to see another tough conversation that Jesus has with someone who feels like that have it all figured out! That guy leaves not feeling the sweetness and allows us to feel grateful that we're not him. Unless... maybe... we're more like him than we'd like to think. Check out Soul Pastor, Mike Cofer's take on this fairly popular and oft misunderstood passage.

    Ep 21 The Narrow Door

    Ep 21 The Narrow Door

    In this episode we try to get through the narrow door, but Jesus tells us we’d best be on time or we may get locked out! Not so sweet, really. Even still, we’ve committed to mixing in some of that pink stuff to enhance the flavor of this bitter cup. Plenty of savory insights mixed in with our normal shenanigans as we explore this passage from Luke 13.

    Ep 20 Your Daddy's The Devil!

    Ep 20 Your Daddy's The Devil!

    In John chapter 8, Jesus escalates the argument on this episode of SJ!P. Pastor Nathan Brown from Vintage Church guides us through why Jesus is blowing up the crowd with what might be the most serious insult He ever drops! “You’re of your father, the devil…” There’s not enough pink stuff on the continent that can sweeten this remark, but we pile it on anyway. Check out some amazing insights on Jesus tactics, Church metrics and the difference between knowing about someone and knowing the person. You don’t want to miss this one!

Fun, Informational, and Sincere

I love Sweet Jesus! The sarcasm and playfulness challenges you to really think about Jesus and His message. I had no idea how much “Sweet Jesus” (with maybe a tinge of “MMA Jesus”) had actually infiltrated my own perspectives on what God truly wants for our lives. There is also a subtle but consistent theme about how we think about loving other through conflict. Finally, the conversation is always genuine. Mel and friends have done their homework when it comes to understanding the Bible, but they are always humble and make it clear there is always more to learn. I can’t recommend this podcast enough!

Sweet Jesus, what a great podcast!

I really appreciate the casual conversation about a topic that can make others uncomfortable
