I discuss how false positivity in our culture hurts people and the church is no different from the rest of society in this. Real communities are built around people being honest about what they are really like.

In this part of the interview, Nathan and Amanda share how they were hurt by quick fixes at church and how we can all learn to build better, more supportive Christian communities.

In this interview, Nathan and Amanda share what life was really like for them as they tried to make their marriage work in the middle of a lot of trials. They admit to having times where they hated each other and times where they were merely trying to survive. They were far from the model couple that many people saw them as. They never wanted to be seen that way and feel that those kind of masks keep people from getting the real encouragement and support they need when they are struggling.

The story of the woman caught in adultery was important to the early church because it shows what Jesus is all about. He was not about using the law to condemn people. He used the law to show how gracious God is in accepting us.

I introduce myself and tell a little bit about how I read the Bible like and English teacher and how this can free you from being a religious tool.

I share my humorous obsession with the story from the book of John of the woman caught in adultery and how it impacted my life and the way I treat people.
