John 14 offers a passage of hope that has also been used as a "clobber verse." In this teaching, we find help and hope from Diana Butler Bass - a different way of thinking about the word "except" that is truly liberating.

Any of the titles we ascribe to God or Jesus both liberate and limit. Lord is both wonderful and problematic, helpful in some ways and restrictive in others. But what if the Lord's Kingdom has been misrepresented to us? What if our vision has been overly influenced by our conquering past and world-dominating Super Power present (hint: it has). This teaching explores "the Lord" and leaves us unsettled. Good luck.

History changed the understanding of savior into an otherworldly superhero who came to save the day and will come again to do it again a final time. Too bad that's not how Jesus - or his original audience - wanted to be known. Imagine how history would have unfolded differently if the actual rendering of the word savior as healer would have dominated? How can we embrace this meaning today? What are the implications for our private lives and even global conflicts?

What does it mean for us to refer to Jesus as our teacher? When we appreciate that Jesus was referred to as "rabbi" we begin to get a better idea about who he was and what the relationship meant between the rabbi and their disciples.

Today we are excited to release this advent special. We welcome friends of the Vicars' Crossing, Bestselling authors Diana Butler Bass, and Michael Coren. Diana and Michael have both written books about Jesus this year. Dianna's book FREEING JESUS - challenges the idea that Jesus can only be understood in static, one-dimensional ways and asks us to instead consider a life where Jesus grows with us and helps us through life's challenges in several capacities: as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence. Michael's book THE REBEL CHRIST reminds us of Jesus who was a rebel, a radical, and a revolutionary who called for the poor and marginalized to be protected, criticized the wealthy and complacent, and condemned those who exploited others while turning their eyes away from those in need. Each of these books provides followers in the way of Jesus plenty to consider. Sit back grab a coffee, light your Advent wreath and enjoy these two internationally renowned writers discuss Jesus in the public square.This podcast was recorded on November 22nd, 2021.

Many people are drawn to spirituality and the God of creation but struggle to know what to do with Jesus. For some, Jesus has become entangled with Trump-era politics, individualistic piety or the feel good religion of prosperity gospels. For others, disillusionment with their church or leadership has meant that they don't want to leave the Jesus of their faith behind but feel like exiles from their church. Diana Butler Bass joins Peter, Sue and Dom to explore the ways Christians have experienced Jesus historically and gives old titles liberating new perspectives as she unpacks her experience of Jesus as Friend, Teacher, Saviour, Lord, Way and Presence.

Continuing in our “For the Love of Transitions” series, we look at crossroads many of us are facing in regards to our view of faith and religion. More than ever before, people in our country are choosing not to identify with a specific religion, including a large segment of Millennials who say they've “never attended church.” But amidst these shifts, there are many who hold tight to their faith, but haven't found the stability of years past in the institutions they used to invest in for themselves and their families. What are the reasons for this shift? It's a complex topic and sometimes charged to discuss, and we've got independent scholar and author, Diana Butler Bass to help us walk through it. Diana's newest book, Freeing Jesus, invites readers to rediscover Jesus beyond the narrow confines society has built around Him. While discussing the mass exodus that's happening in today's churches, Jen and Diana look at how faith can and does thrive outside the pews of the church, and they ask the question: if we are church-goers, how can we work toward making our churches alive and welcoming for everyone?    * * * Thank you to our sponsors!   KiwiCo. | Get 30% off your first month plus free shipping on any crate line with code FORTHELOVE at kiwico.com.    Rothy's | Keep it clean with washable shoes and bags from Rothy's.

We've all read those Christian books that are full of flowery statements. The writing is beautiful but it has no substance to it. On top of that, it's pretty stuffy too. It can seem very academic, old, and quite frankly boring. Diana Butler Bass, however, is a Christian author whose writing falls right into the sweet spot of not fluffy and not stuffy. I aim for that same sweet spot so she has always been a writing inspiration for me. Diana is here today to talk about her newest book Freeing Jesus: Rediscovering Jesus as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence. I love that subtitle because it describes exactly what the book is all about. Even more than Diana's other books, I found Freeing Jesus to be deeply personal and relevant to Parenting Forward.  In the book and in today's episode we discuss how the theological insights of Diana's childhood reshaped her life and how important that is. Join us to hear more. Show Highlights: How to respond when your kids ask hard theological questions. Diana's experience with church growing up. Why Jesus was so open and accepting of children. What the Pelagianism view of original sin is. How the story of creation and Adam and Eve may display that view. How to help our kids make better choices through love. The various definitions of salvation Diana mentions in her book. Why she views being saved as coming home. How writing her book led her to self-forgiveness.

Diana Butler Bass sits down with host Doug Pagitt to talk about her new book, Freeing Jesus.    Diana Butler Bass, Ph.D., is an award-winning author, popular speaker, inspiring preacher, and one of America's most trusted commentators on religion and contemporary spirituality. Her secular friends often ask her “How can you still be a Christian?” In her new book she explains that her experience of Jesus has changed over the years, viewing him in different ways at different times. And that, though she is still a Christian, she isn't the same kind of Christian she used to be, or that they many think she is. Freeing Jesus explores the many images of Jesus we encounter and embrace through a lifetime—and how we make theology from the text of our lives in conversation with scripture and tradition. Freeing Jesus invites us to liberate Jesus and free ourselves when it comes to the ever-compelling and yet often-elusive figure at the center of Christian faith.   Doug Pagitt is the Executive Director and one of the founders of Vote Common Good.
