The Red Pill
Jesus' parable of the rich man and Lazarus is not just about the world to come, but coming to see the world as it is from a different point of view. There is in fact a "great chasm between us." But trapped within the matrix, most of us are blissfully unaware of the world as it really is. This provocative message is an invitation to a different kind of seeing. 1Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sonofapreacherman/ Visit Jonathan's Website: http://www.jonathanmartinwords.com/ Watch The Zeitcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdHzTuNKhTK-AZjfmkxQiww Please rate, review, share, and subscribe!

On Trump, Ukraine, Impeachment, and Authority in the Church
Real-time reflection on the developing story of Trump, the whistleblower, and talk of impeachment—connecting authoritarian tendencies in the White House to authoritarian tendencies in the Church (“honor culture,” Jerry Falwell Jr., etc.). Authority structures are shaking. Are the winds of change against God, or are the winds of change the breath of God?

Religious Trauma, Depression, & Suicide in the Church with Tony Caldwell

Why is it that the places that ought to be the safest things to talk about the things we hide in the dark, are often the least safe?
