Episode 157 | Jesus the Socialist?

Our culture right now is terrified of conflict, terrified of germs, terrified of anything that creates unwanted shifts. We will scream micro-aggressions at every laugh emoji, sanitize every surface of our home, and fight tooth and nail when someone questions our preconceived ideas.

We live in a time where everyone seems to be a victim, or at the very least claims it.
