In so many ways it feels as if we inhabit a world and that values performance over honesty - perfection over authenticity. So what does it mean to live a truly authentic life?

Kate and Kellie spend some time chatting about this very thing - and how following Jesus, the most authentic person to ever walk the planet, can help us to live our lives being the truly aut...

"I don't want to be labeled as a Christian anymore." It seems as if this sentiment is being shared frequently among the Christian community as the word, "Christian" is a powder keg of misuse. More and more the word "Christian" is being associated with descriptors like judgmental, bigoted, homophobic, hateful, racist, misogynistic, exclusive, hypocritical and many more - and in the process, the message of Jesus is being lost. And we admit the church has most certainly earned its stripes in this r...

What is up with the church's need to be so "judgey?" As verified by research, one of the biggest issues people have with the church is its judgment - judgment of people's lifestyles, beliefs, opinions, choices, etc. As local church pastors, nothing infuriates us more. Afterall, Jesus followers have not been called to judge, but to love. We'll take a dive into this subject and hopefully show that this is not an aspect of the church, and his followers, that Jesus had in mind. Contact us! OTRPodcas...
