I, as a Christian, am called to love everyone and not judge who they are. And I want to stop trying to pretend like I'm in control of everything and planetary alignment relies on me.
What happens when two friends, both Christians, sit down to tackle the clichés and stereotypes that surround their faith? In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', Steph and Beth dive into a discussion that is as uncomfortable as it is necessary. They explore what irks them most about the common perceptions of Christians, from being overly judgmental and hypocritical to anti-LGBTQ+ and closed-minded attitudes.
Both hosts bring their unique perspectives to the table—one attends church weekly, while the other is content without regular church attendance. Despite their differences, they share a mutual concern for how these clichés impact both believers and non-believers alike. Their conversation isn't just about pointing out flaws; it's about seeking a deeper, more personal relationship with God and encouraging others to do the same.
They touch on the burdens the church can place on individuals, the intersection of religion and politics, and the importance of meeting people where they are. Through their honest dialogue, Steph and Beth emphasize the value of community and the journey to live authentically. If you're ready for a raw and heartfelt conversation about faith, judgment, and finding your place in the world, this episode is a must-listen.
