Twice in the NT we hear the audible voice of God. Each time this completely “other” voice speaks, the same thing is emphasized: “This is my beloved Son—I'm well-pleased with Him. Listen to Him!” Our mission in life is to pay better attention to Jesus. https://t.co/4091unr1zx

I’ve been doing a slew of radio and podcast interviews for my new book Editing Jesus—here’s a little snippet from one that will explain why I envision myself, and my calling, as a bullfighter holding out a red cape to the world…

Listen to the whole interview, then let’s talk…

As people who functionally practice a counter-religion called “Moralistic, Therapeutic, Deism” instead of a Jesus-centered pursuit of the Kingdom of God, we have reduced Jesus down to an on-demand service provider and a sounding board who will listen passively to our complaints.

“Our posture toward the poor is central to the culture of the Kingdom of God. It is a primary way we reflect the heart of God.”

Leonard Sweet is a giant influence hovering over the church—an intellectual who has the extraordinary gift of making complex things simple to understand and practice. He’s had a profound influence on my own work, and is a kindred spirit in the pursuit of a Jesus-centered life.

What’s at the core of everything?

Well, the mission of Jesus is NOT to plant a new religious movement, OR to reset our moral compass, OR even to warn us of the consequences of rejecting a relationship with God…

Join the Becky-nator and I for Episode 7 of Season 8 - “Peculiar People” - a continuation of the series “THE WAYS OF JESUS.” In this episode we explore why Peter calls the followers of Jesus “peculiar people”—of course, we translate that as… odd people.
