Do you feel the constant pressure put on you by religion to be confessing all of your sins while at the same time, filled with anxiety and seldom experiencing peace? What if I told you 1 John 1:9 has nothing to do with believers recounting all of their sins to stay forgiven?

Are local assemblies supposed to be centered around one person or a small group of people, or has that emphasis forced the gifts of the Spirit and the full expression of Christ into obscurity?

Jon Zens joins me today for an open discussion about church. Is the institutional church model that is all around us an accurate reflection of the mind of Christ for his people, or have we settled for something far less than what we see in the pages of the New Testament?You'll find Jon online at:- https://www.searchingtogether.org- https://www.jonzens.comThis episode is also available in video format on the UnSunday Show YouTube channel at: https://youtu.be/zZOG7R070OI-------------- Other Places You’ll Find MeThe Grace Cafe Podcast: https://www.gracecafepodcast.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@unsunday.mikeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/grace.podcastsLeave Me a Rating/Review: https://www.unsunday.com/reviews/new/

In this episode I continue the topic of not fitting in when it comes to the institutional church and religion. Let's look at 3 main topics.1. You have new spiritual DNA2. You can't unsee once you've seen3. Finding community is a challengeThe video version of this episode is available at https://youtu.be/1-LhsaqS3HEApologies for the audio on this one.

This episode is available in video format here: https://youtu.be/vHH8tYyzNIEMaybe the reason you don't fit in church… is because you were never meant to. In Part 1: Church and Ekklesia, I talk about the core reason there is  tension between institutional religion and the living, breathing community Jesus called ekklesia. If you've ever wondered why church isn't a good fit for you anymore, and you find yourself not fitting in, this conversation will hit home.This isn't about walking away from the faith. It's about rediscovering what authentic community looks like outside the walls of religion. Let's talk about what happens when we discover that belonging to Christ doesn't mean belonging to a system.-------------- Other Places You’ll Find MeThe Grace Cafe Podcast: https://www.gracecafepodcast.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@unsunday.mikeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/grace.podcastsLeave Me a Rating/Review: https://www.unsunday.com/reviews/new/

Joel Brueseke from the Growing in Grace podcast joined me for this YouTube livestream as we talked about the strongholds of church and religion that have a grip on us and are so much a part of us and our thinking after spending decades in that environment.

When church leaders ascended and became prominent in the assembly, the body of Christ suffered and continues to suffer. This episode takes a look at how institutional leadership reshaped gatherings that were once spontaneous, relational, and Spirit-led.

Amber Stephens joins me in this episode of The UnSunday Show as we ask the question, "Is the gospel enough?" Does the gospel need our help? Why do we think it does and why do we add things to it that actually diminish it? Additionally, why do we get sidetracked from it become preoccupied with pet doctrines and teachings that have nothing to do with it? Let's explore that in this episode.  You'll find Amber here: Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/breathin.godsgrace/ YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@breathin.godsgrace247 On The Web at https://www.thegateofgrace.com/  ------ Other Places You'll Find Me: The Grace Cafe Podcast: https://www.gracecafepodcast.com TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@unsunday.mike Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unsundayshow/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/grace.podcasts Leave Me a Rating/Review: https://www.unsunday.com/reviews/new/ -------------- Other Places You’ll Find MeThe Grace Cafe Podcast: https://www.gracecafepodcast.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@unsunday.mikeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/grace.podcastsLeave Me a Rating/Review: https://www.unsunday.com/reviews/new/
