Liberty and Justice For All

Mar 24 2025 48 mins

"And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world" (John 12:47, NKJV) God’s justice is not retributive, it is redemptive. We often see God in light of a court room, a divine judge who is removed and far off, disengaged and solitary The balance of justice hangs in the balance, but we are never quite

The Kiss of God

Mar 24 2025 44 mins

Why did Jesus tell the three parables in Luke 15 to the Pharisees who were complaining of his association with notorious sinners? In these stories, we see Jesus helping the Pharisees see something about the heart of their Father. Something they were missing in their law/works-driven morality view. The lost sheep, the lost coin, the prodigal son all describe the compassion God has f

The Image of God

When we don't know who we are, we will act like someone else. French historian and social scientist Rene Girard developed a theory called "mimetic desire". It demonstrated how human beings imitate (mimic) each other's desires. They easily become rivals and reach for/want the same objects. When we reorient towards God and His love for us, we begin to see who we really are. Made in t

Jesus and the Scapegoat

Jan 28 2025 40 mins

There are two different ways of dealing with sin and shame. In Leviticus 16:7-10 we see two goats used as an example of this. One goat is a picture of Jesus, sacrificed for the remission of sin, wherein sin is fully dealt with. The other is a scapegoat where sin/shame is placed on it and sent out into the wilderness to die. We see Jesus repeatedly overcoming the scapegoat system, t

The Approval That Empowers

Nov 17 2024 48 mins

We spend so much time wrestling with the truth that they are God's beloved children and already have His approval. Stop striving. Stop searching. God has already declared that we are His, and He is well pleased with us. Our identity is securely found in Jesus. Support the show

When The Table Gets Messy - Judi Manis

Oct 07 2024 40 mins

Healing in community can feel counterintuitive, especially when the wounds we have come from others. Yet, it’s part of God’s design. While God is the ultimate healer who restores us to who He created us to be, inviting others into the process can be life-giving and healing in its own way. Support the show

God's Community

Sep 22 2024 49 mins

People often think of salvation or "sozo" as simply an escape from Hell. However, Jesus' work is much greater—He restores us to wholeness and unity with God, as we were originally created to be. Salvation is about more than rescue; it's about restoring our oneness with the Father. Through Jesus, we are never alone. He bridged the separation, and now, we are in Him, and He is in u
