Description

There’s a strange phenomenon that I’ve observed in Christian culture. On one hand it’s preached that Jesus has saved us from sin, guilt and shame and on the other hand, the church teaches us to feel guilty and shameful through much of its practice and theology. I’ve lived most of my life with a chronic sense of guilt, that was at times, debilitating. The more I’ve talked to others about this, I’ve come to realize it’s something much bigger than me. As Ashley puts it in this episode, we sell people God wrapped in a New Testament (grace, love, acceptance, etc.) understanding but then deliver them the God of the Old (angry, vengeful, judgmental, etc.). In this episode we tackle this contradiction and talk about the reality of who God is. Visit XII Church at: https://www.xii.church/ Watch us on YouTube. Join our FREE Facebook group.

Growing up in church, I was taught what a successful Christian is supposed to look like. As I grew, I started to see how much I’ve failed at being that ideal image and I’m surprised that I met God, time and time again, in the most ugly, sinful and debase places. According to the standard I was raised with, I am a failed Christian. “The Failed Christian,” is a podcast that is intended to demonstrate the power of God’s grace, forgiveness and mercy, offered to everyone, without restraint. This podcast explores off-colored topics, typically shunned by the church, in order to demonstrate that God is with us, even in our pain, wrong-doing and humanity. We will explore topics and hear stories, in an honest and respectful way, about people who have made some f*cked-up decisions and fell into grace. www.thefailedchristian.com
