Listen "Jesus Ate with Sinners, But Why? EP. 251"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever heard someone defend a questionable choice with, “Well, Jesus ate with sinners”? In this episode, I unpack that popular phrase and look at what really motivated Jesus to spend time with the broken, the messy, and the lost. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t to condone or coddle sin, it was to call people to repentance. We live in a culture that celebrates tolerance, but too often that gets twisted into compromise. Jesus never watered down the message, and neither should we.I dig into the uncomfortable reality of repentance, how it starts with admitting we were wrong and why that terrifies most of us. From prison ministry to overseas missions, I share hard-earned lessons on what truly changes lives: truth told in love, not entertainment or affirmation. We talk about what it means to be the salt and light in a world begging us to blend in. This is a challenge to get out of the salt shaker, be kind without compromising, and have the courage to say what needs to be said, even when it’s not popular. If you’re tired of feel-good theology and ready for truth that transforms, this one’s for you.
