This week, we’re tackling a topic that’s often misunderstood: relationship vs. religion. So many people believe they have to fix themselves before coming to God, as if perfection is a prerequisite for faith. Others carry the heavy burden of thinking they’ve out-sinned God’s mercy or that He’s sitting in heaven, waiting to punish them. But what if all of that is just a distortion of who God really is?In this episode, we cut through the myths that keep people from experiencing the freedom and love of Christ. We talk about the difference between working from acceptance versus for acceptance, how Jesus responded to people caught in sin, and why religion without relationship leads to spiritual exhaustion. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not "good enough" for God, this conversation is for you.Chapter Timestamps:0:00 Understanding the Heart of the Father1:05 The biggest misconceptions about God5:45 The exhausting trap of religious performance 10:50 Why God asks for nothing in return18:22 What Jesus actually said about religion 26:30 Are we pushing people away from Christ? 33:40 Jesus meets you where you are40:15 What’s the cure for religious burnout?Subscribe and follow the podcast: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0yoDxr4CWZY3xMBhU9GqcG Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/following-the-way/id1798829275 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC88NIKxGI9MWz1fW0ZLIwWA Website: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/followingthewaypod
