Can Christians pursue justice without becoming more like Jesus? Jonathan Tremaine Thomas, author of Make Straight the Path and founder of the Civil Righteousness Movement, believes there’s a difference between civil righteousness and fighting for civil rights. He’s here today to talk about justice, activism, peacemaking and what the church’s role is in all of it.

He also breaks down political tribalism, agendas that don’t produce the fruits of the spirit and what freedom actually looks like when people are hurting.

Quiet time without transformation is meditation at best, and mistaking your own voice for God’s at worst. So how do you know if your prayers, bible study and worship are for your own validation or they’re actually helping you grow deeper in your relationship with God?

Monica Ritchie is here to help you slow down and discover that deep transformation is possible when we’re willing to deliberately accept God’s invitation to know him more. You’ll learn to read scripture for formation, not information, and how to create space to hear from God in an overwhelming, saturated world.

Sometimes you know you’re being boxed in, sometimes you don’t because you’ve never been exposed to anything else. If you’ve only ever lived with one interpretation of the Bible, one version of Christianity and one pursuit of figuring it all out… here’s another perspective to consider in “The Other Side of Certainty” where you’ll find the freedom to let go of toxic religion while still holding on to Jesus.

This episode has all the behind-the-scenes author talk that you won’t get from Kristin on other podcasts. She shares what made her cry, what made her the villain of her own story, and who might need a warning label for the book. After she chats with Naeem Fazal, stick around for a sneak preview of Chapter One of The Other Side of Certainty: How to Follow Jesus When Easy Answers No Longer Work.
