Jesus For Sex Workers, Church People, and Me

religion, spirituality, christianity · EN-US

The church is failing its mission. Rather than answering Jesus’s radical call to be salt and light, church people have chosen to go to war with their neighbors. Todd Austin shows how the ancient words of Scripture goad the righteous of today back toward the true way, and how those same words kick open a door to those the church has shut out. Season 1 focuses on the gospel of Matthew, with its announcement of the coming of a new nation—the kingdom of heaven—and the expectations Jesus has for those who choose to enter this kingdom. It’s a message that is both potently challenging and surprisingly freeing. Season 2 moves into the gospel of Mark, where we learn with the first disciples what it means to follow the Way of Christ—a way that is so counter intuitive that every single one of them walked away by the end of the book. But when they came back to it, this way transformed who they were and changed the world.
