🚨 NEW PODCAST EPISODE
🎧 Whitewashed Power: How Judgment and Control Replace the Gospel
✝️ For anyone who’s ever been judged for how they look, dress, speak, or believe.
———————————————
“You clean the outside of the cup… but inside, you’re full of greed and self-indulgence.” – Jesus (Matthew 23)
This week on The Arrogant Independent, I go deep into what Jesus actually meant when He blasted the Pharisees—and why too many modern churches are still using power, rules, and shame to control people instead of freeing them.
This episode isn’t just about hair length or dress codes. It’s about how spiritual leaders use Scripture as a weapon, how control replaces compassion, and how Jesus came to tear down religious performance—not enforce it.
🗣️ If you’ve ever felt pushed out of church for being different…
Or if you’ve ever wondered why religion often feels more like judgment than love…
This is for you.

📢 Church should be a bridge, not a gate.
Let’s tear down the whitewashed tomb—and start building something real.
