Episode 2 - Messed-Up Judgment

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.
