Episode notes
Jesus Inverts Common Filters
- Jesus's filter often inverted cultural filters: he said yes to people society discarded and no to some expectations.
- The sermon argues we commonly filter for convenience, control, and worthiness rather than neediness and kairos opportunities.

- Lean into uncomfortable interruptions that allow for necessary spiritual or truthful conversations.
- Use disruptive moments to speak hard things when God gives opportunity, like Jesus did in Mark 2.
