Description

In this powerful episode, Pastor David Clipston dives deep into Matthew 5, where Jesus flips the script on the age-old concept of revenge. It's not eye for eye, nor passive avoidance — it’s something radically different. David unpacks what Jesus meant when He offered a “third way,” one that disarms hate without becoming hateful, and confronts injustice without becoming unjust. This isn’t about rolling over or striking back — it’s about creative resistance rooted in love. Drawing from Jesus’ teachings, David challenges us to rethink how we respond when we’re wronged, and invites us into a lifestyle that defies both retaliation and resignation. If you’ve ever struggled with forgiveness, anger, or the desire to get even, this episode will offer you a new perspective — bold, countercultural, and beautifully redemptive. Tune in and discover what it means to walk the third way.

David Clipston: Jesus on The Bible

This week, David helped us slow down with Jesus' words in Matthew 5, where He says He hasn’t come to get rid of the Scriptures, but to fulfil them. It’s a big statement—and David was honest about how that can feel confusing at times. The Bible doesn’t always feel clear or easy. But instead of shying away, David encouraged us to lean in with curiosity and trust. Jesus doesn’t dismiss what’s come before—He deepens it. He takes the old words and fills them with life, with love, with meaning. This talk wasn’t about having all the answers, but about holding space for the questions. And about trusting Jesus as the one who brings the whole story together. A great episode if the Bible sometimes feels overwhelming or hard to connect with—you’re not alone.
