Religion diminishes who we are in Jesus by adding layers of obligations on top of the finished work of Jesus on the cross and in his resurrection. There is no rest in religion but in Jesus, rest is part of our new identity. Much like oil and water, religion and rest don't mix.
 I want to give a much overdue shoutout to Joel Brueseke at the Growing in Grace podcast. He was kind enough to have me on his podcast for 2 episodes several months ago. In fact, it was last year! We had a fantastic conversation that went a little long so Joel made it into 2 episodes. Thank you Joel! Here are the links to those 2 episodes:

•  The State of the Church, Part 1
•  The State of the Church, Part 2
