What if you’ve been reading the Bible… the wrong way?
In this episode, John shares three unexpected tools for giving up condemnation:
Drawing on insights from Phillip Cary and the story of Jonah, John challenges a common habit: reading ourselves as the “good” characters while judging everyone else.

You’ll learn:

It’s to realize we’re not.
And that’s where grace begins.
And there is now no condemnation.
