Wholly Ourselves

Ep 12 | What Makes Us Into Monsters? (A Sermon on Fear, Power, & Redemption)


Listen Later

In this episode, I'm sharing a sermon I preached earlier this year. Drawing on musical theater, I explore the question: What is the difference between a man and a monster? Together we trace how fear, power, apathy, and self-preservation shape the monstrous patterns we see in Scripture, in history, and in ourselves. And yet, through the humility and mercy of Jesus, we discover a God who refuses to become a monster and instead makes a way for monsters to become human again. My hope is that this sermon helps you reflect on your own heart, your own temptations toward self-protection, and the redemptive invitation of Christ to rebuild with compassion, courage, and hope.
