This week, we’re not exactly playing it safe.

We'll explore whether turning the other cheek actually shows strength…or is it just getting walked on? Have Christians misunderstood this scripture for centuries? 

We also wade into some light, totally non-controversial topics—like the Pope, politics, blasphemy, and why Jesus seems to call us to do the exact opposite of what feels natural.

We also dig into what this looks like in real life: marriage, work, raising kids, dealing with difficult people, and figuring out where forgiveness ends and enabling begins (because yeah… that line can get blurry fast).

Plus, we connect it all to one of the wildest stories in the Bible—Elisha feeding his enemies instead of fighting them—and ask the uncomfortable question: What if God sees our enemies completely differently than we do?

If you’ve ever wondered:

• “Am I supposed to just take it?”
• “Where’s the line between grace and being a pushover?”
• “Can you be bold without being a jerk?”

…then this one’s for you.
