Season 8 Episode 7 - Peculiar People

Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus

Join Rick and the Becky-nator for Episode 7 of Season 8 - “Peculiar People” - a continuation of the series “THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Rick and Becky will be exploring themes drawn from his just-released book titled Editing Jesus. In this episode we explore why Peter calls the followers of Jesus “peculiar people”—of course, we translate that as… odd people. And, just being real, some of us are odd… Maybe we’re all odd in some way. But that’s not what Peter really means here. And the distinction is really important for us… We are called, as followers of Jesus, to live out the values and priorities of an unseen kingdom while we live our everyday lives in the seen kingdom. How does that work again? Check out Rick’s new book, Editing Jesus.
