Last week we asked if we’ve misdiagnosed the human soul. This week we get practical.

Pastor Dan unpacks how inherent union with God reshapes everyday life—moving us from defensiveness, scarcity, and exclusion to compassion, joy, and radical inclusion. If shame isolates and estranges, union restores dignity and brings us home to who we’ve always been.

From Jesus standing with the marginalized to how we parent, argue, forgive, and show up for our city, this message shows what happens when we stop earning love and start living from it. Less fear of punishment. More fearless love.

What if the deepest wound in the human soul isn’t sin—but shame?

In this stirring message, we dive into one of the most radical shifts in Christian thought in two thousand years: moving from a doctrine of inherent separation from God to a vision of inherent union with God.

With raw honesty, the sermon wrestles with the Garden story, the cross, and the very heart of the gospel. What if salvation is not about clawing our way back to a God who left us, but awakening to the truth that God never left? What if our shame, not our sin, is the lie that keeps us hiding in the bushes?

This episode doesn’t just challenge centuries of teaching—it offers healing. It dares us to imagine a Christianity that begins not with fear, but with belovedness. A faith not obsessed with fixing what’s “wrong,” but resting in the God who has been with us all along.

If you’ve ever carried the weight of religious shame or wondered if you were ever truly “safe” with God, this conversation liberate your soul.

What happens when we stop begging for a seat at the table—and build our own instead?

In this provocative and hope-filled conversation, Pastor Dan sits down with Brandan Robertson—pastor, activist, and author of Queer and Christian—to talk about what it means to move beyond fear-based religion into a faith rooted in love, liberation, and authenticity.

From unpacking the infamous “clobber passages” to challenging the ways institutions weaponize scripture, Brandan invites us to imagine a Christianity that looks more like Jesus and less like fear. Along the way, we hear stories of religious trauma, the lingering grip of shame, and the radical power of God’s love to set us free.

If you’ve wrestled with your identity, questioned the Bible you were handed, or longed for a faith expansive enough to hold both truth and love, this episode will meet you right where you are.
