Reverend Ashley Harness from Auburn Seminary says, “Susan has this fierce, loving, don’t mess with me, Mom vibe.” If you have been excluded, or if someone close to you has been excluded because of who they are or who they love - or maybe you have been the one doing the excluding - the FreedHearts podcast is for you.

Is Jesus Different than Christianity?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
So much pain has been inflicted in the name of God. We have been deeply hurt, we get triggered and, understandably, we want nothing to do with any of it - even Jesus.
But, let’s be clear, what has been used to hurt us has been absolute lies, false teachings and is not about God or Jesus!
One of the worst things that ever happened to Jesus was the religion of Christianity, and non-affirming Christians have largely gotten him totally wrong.
Jesus is still one of the best-kept secrets because his truth has been grossly distorted by people who claim to speak for him.
There is a religion-free Jesus who belongs to all of us!
