Max Schiewe, Young Adult and Middle School Ministry Leader, explores the dual nature of humanity, highlighting our tendency to blame others and the liberation offered through Christ's sacrifice. He reflects on the crucifixion as the ultimate act that puts an end to the cycle of scapegoating and blame that has plagued humanity. As Christians, we are called to embrace a life of advocacy and peace-making, instead of casting blame, and to embody the grace that Jesus exemplifies. Ultimately, Max encourages a transformative approach to living out our faith by standing up for others, fostering a more compassionate community, and spreading the message of Christ's love.

The Encounter Faith Podcast is dedicated to creating space to slow down and dive deeper into the critical conversations we’re having every week at Good Shepherd. We fundamentally believe that you cannot encounter the risen Lord unchanged, and through the replays of our Sunday Sermons and conversations with our pastors and community leaders, we are prayerfully pursuing the author and the perfecter of our faith, together.
