What is the New Covenant? What is the Old Covenant? Why does it matter? In this episode I take a high-level overview of the Old and New Covenants and why knowing the difference between the two is important when we read the Bible. This is a topic that I'm going to weave into future videos in much more detail as I answer questions that have come up in many of your comments. 

Understanding the Old Covenant/New Covenant distinction is essential to understanding much of what is written in our Bibles and is useful in clearing up the confusion caused by not understanding that distinction. This video is an introduction to the Old and New Covenants in scripture. It's a starting point – a beginning – in the event you've had little or no exposure to either of them.

Age doesn’t diminish faith or make it less relevant—it clarifies it. This is the gospel after decades of life experiences, needing to be right, letting go, listening, and learning that the only thing that matters is faith expressing itself in love.

Do you feel the constant pressure put on you by religion to be confessing all of your sins while at the same time, filled with anxiety and seldom experiencing peace? What if I told you 1 John 1:9 has nothing to do with believers recounting all of their sins to stay forgiven? Let's talk.

Are local assemblies supposed to be centered around one person or a small group of people, or has that emphasis forced the gifts of the Spirit and the full expression of Christ into obscurity? Let's talk.

Jon Zens joins me today for an open discussion about church. Is the institutional church model that is all around us an accurate reflection of the mind of Christ for his people, or have we settled for something far less than what we see in the pages of the New Testament?

In this episode I continue the topic of not fitting in when it comes to the institutional church and religion. Let's look at 3 main topics.

1. You have new spiritual DNA
2. You can't unsee once you've seen
3. Finding community is a challenge

Maybe the reason you don't fit in church… is because you were never meant to. In Part 1: Church and Ekklesia, I talk about the core reason there is  tension between institutional religion and the living, breathing community Jesus called ekklesia. If you've ever wondered why church isn't a good fit for you anymore, and you find yourself not fitting in, this conversation will hit home.

This isn't about walking away from the faith. It's about rediscovering what authentic community looks like outside the walls of religion. Let's talk about what happens when we discover that belonging to Christ doesn't mean belonging to a system.
