Off the Rails: Chasing Faith in a Post-Christian Culture

Episode 2 - Messed-Up Judgment


Listen Later

What is up with the church's need to be so "judgey?" As verified by research, one of the biggest issues people have with the church is its judgment - judgment of people's lifestyles, beliefs, opinions, choices, etc. As local church pastors, nothing infuriates us more. Afterall, Jesus followers have not been called to judge, but to love. We'll take a dive into this subject and hopefully show that this is not an aspect of the church, and his followers, that Jesus had in mind.
