Jesus is not often associated with having anything to say about democracy. Jason shares how Jesus did teach about freedom, and many of His teachings had political implications that have been developed by Christians over the last 2000 years.

Jesus taught extensively about forgiveness. His command to "love your enemy" is one of His best known teachings. Chris shares why we too should consider forgiveness a priority - in the big and in the small things.

Jesus taught that individuals have inherent value - we are loved by God. The teaching of Jesus and Paul shifted people from being viewed as members of families, castes, cities or communities to being individuals of worth.
