BONUS: Learn about Getting Jesus Wrong with Matt Johnson
Christian transformation is about the real you meeting the real Jesus. But what if you get Jesus wrong? Is he a life coach, or the giver of a moral checklist, or someone else entirely?
That’s a question we explore with Matt Johnson, whose book Getting Jesus Wrong was recently released by New Growth Press. This is a bonus episode, where we take time learn about something that’s helpful to our redemption walk with friends.
Matt has been a friend of Redemption Groups since the beginning, and his own theological development—which we glimpse in his book—parallels the development of some of the teaching in Redemption Groups.
We discuss the implications of “theology of glory” vs. “theology of the cross”, and some of the “false Jesuses” Matt writes about his book: Jesus as Life Coach, and Jesus as Giver of a Moral Checklist. What difference do these ideas make in how we walk with one another as friends or help one another in Redemption Groups?
Matt will impersonate Martin Luther impersonating Yoda. You’ll also hear about everyone’s favorite variety of scandinavian heavy metal, and what CD is playing in their cars. (Um, what’s a CD?)

We talked a bit about this book, On Being a Theologian of the Cross, by Gerhard Forde:

And Mike really likes Wintergatan, a Swedish folktronica music group. That has nothing to do with our show, except that Mike mentioned them (not for the last time) on the show and he’s the one typing these notes, so…

Note: the image of body-builder Jesus breaking away from the cross isn't the actual book cover, it's one of the alternates that you can find on Matt's website. There are quite a few more brilliant ones here:
