Non-Christian Like Jesus
Jesus wasn’t a Christian. I'm not sure I want to call myself that either. The only thing I'm sure of is that I would love to be even half the non-Christian Jesus was. On this podcast, I talk about what that might look like. I’m a former ordained evangelical pastor, and run a full time relationship counseling practice, so there’ll be relationship stuff and spiritual stuff here, because both are about living a life of love. For people of any/no religion who think behavior is more important than beliefs and strive to take love as seriously as it deserves to be taken.
Non-Christian Like Jesus
Unconditional Forgiveness, Unconditional Love
Many say the core message of Christianity is peace, universal brother and sisterhood, and doing good in the world. I believe that is true, but unfortunately Christianity seems to have never been very good at consistently conveying those messages.
This episode examines how unconditional forgiveness is an implicit part of the kind of love Jesus taught, how many constraints historical Christianity has always placed around who gets forgiveness and how, and tells a powerful story about what true forgiveness, a door swinging wide open into love, actually looks like.
