Progressive Christianity with Pastor AdamWhat is Nonviolent Christianity?Yesterday, I officially launched my new website, Pastor Adam at adamericksen.org.
Heartbreak_Time_Machine on Instagram asks “Is Violent Christianity the default?”
Tragically, Christianity and violence have been united from very early on in Christian history.
But I want to change that. At its core, Christianity is about the person Jesus Christ, who reveals a God of radical nonviolence.
So let's talk about Jesus, God, violence, and nonviolence in this episode of One Questions!

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. But in the same chapter, Jesus says that some people are “born eunuchs for the kingdom of God.” A eunuch was someone who didn’t fit the “male and female” binary, but was seen as a third gender. 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?
