A quick heads-up: Hey friends, parts of the audio get a little rough or distorted since I recorded this on a late-night walk with my phone. Stick with it. The heart of the episode comes through just fine if you're willing to hear it. On this walk, I found myself naming something I’ve tried to …
In this episode, I wrestle with one of the biggest false commandments of modern Christianity—the obsession with being right. Somewhere along the line, the church traded love for correctness, compassion for certainty, and the living way of Jesus for a rulebook.  I explore what happens when being “bi…

Sean takes us on a journey to unexpected places, both literal and metaphorical. We start with a nostalgic trip to "Jungle Java," a beloved childhood spot turned sour by an unfortunate incident—much like some perceptions of Christians today. With candid reflections, Sean explores how peopl…
This episode is all about ditching the rulebook religion and finding the real freedom Jesus offers. We'll be hanging out in Galatians chapter 5, where Paul talks to the early church about how awesome Jesus' freedom is compared to a bunch of old laws. Buckle up, because we're gonna ex…
Finding God in Unexpected Places and the Practice of Lectio DivinaThis episode explores Sean's personal journey from a legalistic approach to Bible study towards a more intimate and reflective practice called Lectio Divina. This ancient practice, which means 'divine reading' in Latin…
This episode challenges traditional ideas about religion and explores the concept of radical grace. Sean dives into a scripture story about vineyard workers and explains how it contradicts our human sense of fairness. Are you ready to ditch the guilt and embrace the good news? This episode is perfe…
