Growing up in church, we were taught that Jesus was the answer to all our problems. We were taught that there was a circle-shaped hole in our heart and that we had tried to fill it with the square pegs of sex, drugs, and rock and roll; but only the circle peg of Jesus could fill our hole. I became a Christian based, in part, on this promise, but the hole never really went away. To be sure, I like Jesus, and I still follow him, but the idea that Jesus will make everything better is a lie. It’s basically biblical theology translated into the language of infomercials. The truth is, the apostles never really promise Jesus is going to make everything better here on earth.

About

Avatar I'm a runner, writer, thinker, and pastor. I love to agitate people's consciences. I like to spend my time reading, running, and relaxing with family & friends.

I work as a director of community formation at Highland Park Presbyterian Church and this blog in no way reflects the thoughts or attitudes of my church. You can catch me teaching regularly at Wake Up! and Pub Night Dallas.

I use Common Prayer for Ordinary Radicals to read Scripture and pray daily, join me!
