Butt in the Bible & Building: Why We Stop Showing Up | Part 2

Why We're Called to Bless the People Who Hurt Us | Luke 6:28

If you've ever been hurt, betrayed, insulted, or mistreated, Luke 6:28 may be one of the hardest verses in the Bible to live out. In this episode of Not Yet Christian, we unpack Jesus' command to "bless those who curse you" and "pray for those who mistreat you." We explore why responding with love instead of retaliation isn't about letting people off the hook... It's about finding freedom from bitterness and trusting the Holy Spirit to do what we can't do on our own. We also discuss agape love, why offense is a choice, practical ways to pray for those who've hurt you, and how choosing grace reflects the heart of Jesus in a world that expects revenge.

Judging the Outside, Missing the Heart | James 2:3

Have you ever made a judgment about someone based on what you could see on the outside? In this episode of Not Yet Christian, we unpack James 2:3 and explore the difference between how people often evaluate others and how God sees them. While the world tends to focus on appearance, wealth, status, and influence, God looks at the heart. We discuss favoritism, personal biases, God's heart for the poor, and why true faith calls believers to treat every person with dignity, respect, and compassion regardless of what they wear, what they own, or where they come from. This episode challenges us to look beyond appearances and see people the way God does.

Over the past several months on Not Yet Christian, we've tackled some of the biggest reasons people avoid church, stay out of the Bible, or slowly drift away from their faith. In this special Part 2 Best Of episode, we're continuing our look back at some of the most impactful moments from both our Butt in the Building and Butt in the Bible series. Whether you've struggled with church hurt, felt like you didn't belong, believed church was full of hypocrites, preferred online services, or wondered if reading the Bible again would really make a difference, you're not alone. We explore why perfection isn't a requirement for church, why forgiveness matters when you've been hurt, why community is essential to spiritual growth, and why God's Word continues to speak to us no matter how many times we've read it before.

Protect Your Peace | Proverbs 14:30

In this episode of Not Yet Christian, we unpack Proverbs 14:30 and the powerful connection between inner peace, emotional health, and spiritual wellbeing. Scripture says, "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones," and this conversation dives into what that actually looks like in everyday life. We talk about how comparison, jealousy, resentment, and constantly measuring your life against everyone else's can quietly destroy your peace from the inside out. In a world filled with social media highlight reels, pressure, and constant comparison, protecting your heart has never been more important. We also discuss how true peace comes through trust in God, gratitude, contentment, and learning to guard your heart before bitterness takes root.
