Customer Reviews
Jesus is a Liberal
Jesus of Nazareth’s mission and message are liberal. He is not conservative/right or progressive/left yet both at the same time. Jesus’s message is paradoxical and beyond extreme black & white. Our job is loving our neighbor as our selves and placing God at the center. This podcast seems to be able to operate in this space that makes no linear sense but is quiet comfortably in the mystic fuzzy place where we are most open to Divine insight.
Please stop.
Cringe. Bragging about how humble you are is the vibe of this podcast.
Relevant
The name of the podcast says it all, and I would add to that, especially the “Institutional Church” here in the U.S. Can we please think of new ways to being the Body of Christ other than the current church-going model?
