The UnSunday Show

Welcome to episode 27 of The UnSunday Show podcast. Way back in episode 9 we talked about 1 John 1:9 and what John meant when he said if we confess our sins [God] is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We concluded that John was targeting unbelievers within the group - those who were sin deniers and outside of the family of faith. But what about those of us who believer? What if we sin? Have we lost fellowship with God? John addressed that in chapter 2 of the same letter. In this episode, I am bringing over a recent episode of my Grace Grace Cafe Podcast where I talked about that topic. It's in chapter 2 of 1 John, not chapter 1 where John addresses the topic of believers when we sin and he doesn't tell us to confess our sins over and over but to remember what is already ours in Jesus, total forgiveness of all of our sins, past, present, and future.

English theologian William Tyndale translated the New Testament to English, challenging the church's traditional interpretations. He used words like 'congregation' instead of 'church' and 'elder' instead of 'priest'. Tyndale's refusal to compromise led to his martyrdom, highlighting the importance of individual interpretation and active participation in the church assembly.

Welcome to episode 25 of the UnSunday Show. Let's talk about your options when living in a Christian sacral society where conformity to the church's rules is required on the threat of punishment and death for non-compliance. Such was the environment the Anabaptists found themselves in as the Reformation progressed. Like their Roman Catholic counterparts, the church the Reformers created had the power of the State behind it, along with the full weight of the military to enforce the church's top-down rule. "Jesus was not killed by atheism and anarchy. He was brought down by law and order allied with religion - which is always a deadly mix. Beware those who claim to know the will of God and are prepared to use force, if necessary, to make others conform." - Barbara Brown Taylor Let's talk about it...

Discuss the implications of Sacralism in State systems, persecution faced by early Christians, and the transformative impact of Constantine's conversion. Analyze the shift to infant baptism as a societal marker and the implications of compulsory adherence to the new State religion.

Welcome to episode 22 of The UnSunday Show. This episode is a short return to the topic of how we view church informs our view of other things. In this case, the gospel. I wanted to mention a couple of things that I didn't get to in episodes 19 and 20 and present them to you as an addendum of what Greg and I talked about in those episodes. Thanks to all of you who have reached out to me. It's always good to hear from you.

Welcome to The UnSunday Show. We turn 21 today with this, our 21st episode! That means were legal in all 50 States and around the globe. Partay! As most of you know, I co-host another podcast called The Grace Cafe Podcast with my wife. We recently interviewed J.D. Zomer from The Jesus Unfiltered Podcast and I asked J.D. if I could post that conversation here as well because while there is some overlap, this podcast reaches a slightly different group of people and I want them to hear it as well. Our conversation covered things like the Holy Spirit and Craig's List, J.D.'s Religion Free Ministry in the Dallas area, the Jesus Unfiltered Podcast, and the soon-to-be-launched Religion Free Movement. Religion Free Movement is something you're going to want to hear about and I'll let J.D. explain it in his own words. Enjoy!

Greg McInturff continues the conversation on how our view of church shapes our perception of God. They discuss downsides of formal church membership, misuse of Bible verses to guilt-trip, and the freedom to follow where the Lord leads. The dialogue challenges traditional structures and emphasizes authentic community and service over institutional obligations.

Join Mike Adams and Greg McInturff as they discuss how our view of church impacts our view of God. They explore the heavy emphasis on performance in institutional religion, the lack of grace-filled messages in many churches, and the negative impact of a performance-based Christianity. The conversation delves into the idea of walking away from the institutional church for a more authentic experience and how this shift can change our perception of God.

Join in on a fascinating conversation with Bonnie Petroschuk, as she shares her journey from the institutional church to Ekklesia. She discusses her shock at the differences between the two, her personal transformation, and recommendations for further study. Delve into insights on church dynamics, the evolution of ecclesia, and the importance of grace and the gospel message in a transformative way.
