Ep. 136 Are You Side-Hugging Jesus?

What if you could stop holding Jesus at arm's length—and let His love change how you hold everyone else?

Have you ever felt like you had to earn God's love? Follow all the rules, get everything right, and somehow become a better Christian before you could fully experience His grace?

What if grace was always meant to come first?

In this heartfelt (and occasionally hilarious, but that’s a very subjective opinion) episode of Called & Curious, we explore what it really means to embrace a life in Christ—both His grace and His truth.

Through awkward side hugs, the parable of the lost sheep, and a few overly enthusiastic sheep carrying clipboards, we'll explore how Christian legalism, performance-based faith, and even our desire to get everything right can keep us from experiencing the fullness of God's love.

You'll discover why God's grace isn't something you have to earn, why His truth is an expression of His love, and how receiving both can transform the way you see yourself, your faith, and the people around you.

Because grace doesn't excuse everything, and truth doesn't require us to stop loving people.

Jesus is full of both.

And maybe it's time we stopped side-hugging Him.
