What if everything you’ve been taught about repentance is incomplete? In this episode, Chris Jones challenges the traditional Christian understanding of repentance as merely turning from sin. Drawing from the Hebrew concept of “shuvah” and the practice of teshuva, he reveals that biblical repentance is a journey of becoming—not just unbecoming. Through Isaiah 58 and Jesus’s teachings, Chris demonstrates that true repentance means actively loving your neighbor, breaking chains of oppression, feeding the hungry, and administering God’s justice based on need rather than deserve. This isn’t about religious behavior modification—it’s about discipleship that transforms both you and your community.
