Progressive Christianity with Pastor AdamBut Jesus said Male and Female: How Jesus Moves Beyond Gender BinariesSome Christians refer to Matthew 19 to say that Jesus affirmed Genesis 1 - that God made humans “male and female.” They do this criticize our transgender siblings.

Jesus didn’t quote Genesis to say that God only makes humans into male or female because he knew that God’s creation is far more diverse.

Progressive Christianity with Pastor AdamWhat does it mean to be "born again"?You've probably heard that you must be "born again" to enter heaven.
The phrase "born again" is often used by religious folks to create another "us and them" mentality. Who is in and who is out.
When religion is used to divide the world into who is included and who is excluded, we have missed the point. For Jesus, everyone is included.
So, what does it mean to be "born again"? Can this phrase be deconstructed and reconstructed into a healthy spirituality?
