Jason here. I was in the car for 10 hours yesterday and had bursts of conversation with God. I took some notes to share with you. This one is a little out there and might stretch some of my evangelical friends. Please stick with me. I think you'll like where we end up.</p><p><br></p><h3>In this talk, I discuss:</h3><ul><li>The need to separate Jesus the first-century teacher from the religious icon passed down to us.</li><li>The first century understanding of some of Jesus' key teachings.</li><li>What forgiveness and loving our enemies really look like.</li><li>The value of surrender</li><li>What it really means to be \"woke\".</li></ul><p><br></p><p>I hope you'll find this talk helpful. If so, please let me know.
