Revolution Church
Living in the Friction
It’s another week where we just jump right into it! Today Jay’s talk is inspired by two memes he saw on Instagram. When you’ve gotten to a place where memes inspire your talks, is that a good thing or a bad thing? We’re not sure but we went for it anyway! The memes referenced the ideas of love and legalism in Christianity. The two things that cause most of the problems, if not all of them. Have we gotten to a place where politicians effect our theology more than theologians and scholarship? Have we veered too far off course as the Church—Capital C Church. Is reformation possible? Can we stop the us/them mentality and scapegoating? We think a modern day reformation is possible—a way to live in the friction. It won’t be easy and it’s a lot of hard work and tough conversations and setting boundaries…but boundaries with doors built into them. A way to disengage but keep the channels open. We need to embrace critical thinking! It’s easier to throw someone away, but we don’t want that. We want love and we want grace. We want to focus on scholarship. Good scholarship is transformative. It's time to destroy our idols and get back to a place of love and acceptance!
This talk was given on August 13, 2023 from Seattle, Washington.

Why Revolution
55:35|It’s important to talk about good Biblical scholarship. It’s a short step to align the Bible with our views rather than our views with the Bible and its teachings. We create a new gospel that doesn’t reflect what the Bible says. Is it too late for Christianity? It can feel hopeless but there is HOPE for reconciliation.
