You can’t heal what you won’t reveal. This episode peels back the layers on why being vulnerable is hard, necessary, and the very thing that leads to true intimacy and freedom

Sidelined by Church

Sometimes it’s not the church that sidelines us—we do it to ourselves. We get so caught up doing “good” things for God that we miss being with Him. And when people don’t notice, appreciate, or agree with us? Offense creeps in, and suddenly we’re out of the game, bitter and exhausted. In this episode, we’re calling out the trap of busyness, the weight of offense, and the quiet isolation that follows. But there’s hope: a reminder that we’re still needed, still called, and there’s still a seat at the table in the body of Christ.

And so it begins!

“Religion” in many ways can create confusion about what it means to follow Jesus, and may even get people off-track in their faith walk. We are here to discuss and counter misconceptions with biblical truth and on-the-ground reality. In this introductory episode, Brian, Joe and Sara share their “why” and what you can expect from these conversations.

Coming soon!

Welcome to Sidelined by Religion—where we strip away the rules, the judgment, and the expectations that never really felt like Jesus in the first place. We’re here for the real, raw, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations about faith, doubt, and everything in between. No churchy clichés. No pretending. Just an honest look at what happens when religion gets in the way of Jesus—and what it means to follow Him anyway. If you’ve ever felt sidelined, you’re not alone and this is the place to talk about it. This is Sidelined by Religion.
