Ancient Jesus/Future Faith
Who is Jesus? What does the Bible actually say about…well, everything? Is there a future for faith beyond Evangelicalism? On this weekly podcast, pastor Don Schiewer, Sarah Mainardi, and Dr. Tana M. Schiewer consider these questions and ask many more. Each week, they use the tools of Biblical scholarship to deconstruct misinterpretations of Scripture, uncover the history and context of Jesus, and build a path forward for Christianity that creates safety and freedom for all.
Note: we are currently on hiatus, so we will not be posting any new episodes for the foreseeable future.

117. Does God Want Me To Be Happy? (Emotions Part 2)
What does the bible say about happiness? Does God want us to be happy? In this part two of our series on emotions, we explore the concept of "happiness" and how it is often seen as a negative in some Christian circles. We explore the difference between joy and happiness, break down the "take up your cross" passage, and return to the idea that faith - and happiness - is communal.
Passages discussed: James 1: 2-3, Matthew 16: 24, John 17
