Did you ever wonder why the big brother in the prodigal son story was so jealous when his wayward sybling came home? Maybe you can relate. As Pastor Paul demonstrates in this modern day version of this parable, it's a desire to withhold grace from others that is so fostered by a religious mindset - none of us should want to be that "big brother." Read the original parable for yourself in Luke 15:11-32

"Am I Jonah?" How Jonah 4 Speaks Against Christian View of War & Violence

In Coaching and Mentorship, Pastor Paul awesome hears clients say "I'm chill, things don't bother me." Quite often in our culture this can be translated "I'm really good at avoiding and coping." 
This method works, until it doesn't. Paul teaches today that the story of Jesus is about people being set free of trying to "chill" and instead to be transformed into a new person.

Better to be 'Chill'? Or Transformed?

The biblical story of Jesus gave a mission statement of opening the eyes of the blind and setting captives free. The captivity Jesus saw and condemned in his story more than all else? The bondage of religious law vs connect to god, neighbor and self. Nowhere did he condemn the clothing, presentation or loves of another person.

So how it is that Christianity in our age has come to me "don't run like a girl, don't throw like a girl, don't dress like one and FOR GODSSAKE don't cry or seek emotional help, like a girl."
Pastor Paul shares why this belief is a bondage that must be broken if our society is survive. #statusquosucks

Pastor Paul shares why abortion is a political issue, used to manipulate Christians for their votes, rather than one clearly commanded in scripture.
