Episode Synopsis
If Christianity is really about changing lives, then why are so many of its “followers” routinely labeled as hypocrites? Is it because of a failure of the religion or a failure of its followers?
We talk about that and much more, including:
- The reality that there are hypocrites inside and outside the church, but it’s the “religious” one that provide the worse public relations issues for Christianity.
- The four different types of hypocrisy and what they look like in everyday scenarios.
- Personal examples of how both, Jason and I, struggle with hypocrisy in our daily lives and how Jesus is helping change us in those areas.
- How Christianity has changed throughout history and become increasingly hypocritical, while Jesus has remained unchanged and the constant answer to countering hypocrisy.
- The detrimental effects of failing to recognize what we all suffer from hypocrisy and how this can lead to judgmentalism and even more hypocrisy.
- The fact that hypocrisy and judgmentalism are both issues that Jesus directly addressed in the early church, proving that he hates both of these attitudes just as much as most other people do!
