Citizen ATX

We are very excited to kick off a new series! Take a listen as Matt gives you a quick sneak peak on what's to come! Series begins next week!

Matt along our guests Nathan Wood and Lauren Ortiz walk us through our last two difficult sayings of Jesus in this series. We discuss Luke 10:17-20 and Mark 15:33-39 and reveal what meaning is behind Satan's fall and why one of Jesus' final words were so significant on the cross.

This week Jonathan and Matt focus on the tough words from Jesus in Matthew 8:21-22 and Matthew 25:31-36.  Why would a guy have to choose between burying his father and following Jesus?  And will we really go to hell if we do not hand out glasses of water and clothes to those in need? These topics and more are covered in this week’s discussion.

This week Jonathan and Matt are focusing on two perplexing sayings from Jesus found in Matthew 15:21-28 and Matthew 22:11-14.  Did Jesus really compare a woman to a dog?  And what kind of clothes do you have to wear to enter the kingdom of heaven?  They answer these questions and more in this week’s episode. 

We all love the red letters in our Bible, but the truth is many of Jesus’ words can be difficult to understand.  In this series, Jonathan and Matt are going to discuss the hard sayings of Jesus.  Each week they will focus on two perplexing passages with the goal of helping you understand what exactly Jesus meant by some of his most difficult words.  This week’s episode focuses on Matthew 19:11-12 and Matthew 5:27-30.
