Four believers (Joel Brueseke, Amber Stephens, Mike Kapler, and Mike Adams) sit down for a powerful and honest conversation about grace, the New Covenant, and why mixing Law with performance is hurting people in the church. No titles, no pulpits, no sermons—just real talk about what it means to live in the finished work of Christ.
We talk about:

• Grace apart from works
• The difference between the Old and New Covenants
• How churches occasionally preach grace but expect performance
• What it really means to live in freedom

Our four talking points are:

• Grace Without Mixture Is the Only Gospel
• The New Covenant is a Relationship, not a Contract
• What the Church ignores: The simplicity of the gospel
• What Does it Mean to You to Live in Freedom?

Join the roundtable and be part of a conversation that challenges, refreshes, and reminds us what the gospel is really about. This episode is available in video format at https://youtu.be/gfoZic6bz5w

Is signing a formal church membership contract a necessary expression of loyalty? Has the institutional church traded the freedom of life in Christ for institutional control? In this episode I explore how formal membership contracts — often loaded with behavioral clauses, doctrinal checkpoints, and institutional loyalty — distort the gospel of grace and reduce free flowing community to a legal transaction with rewards for compliance and punishments for non-compliance. Jesus brought us into a relationship, not a system. So why have countless churches made belonging conditional on paperwork?

What happens when church becomes a breeding ground for control, fear, and manipulation? This episode of The UnSunday Show exposes the patterns of church bullying, from toxic leadership to spiritual abuse that often occurs when the institutional church abandons the New Covenant gospel of grace in favor of a mixed-covenant version of a gospel of their own making. This mixed covenant gospel is no gospel at all.

I'm excited to have Jeremiah Ryan join me as we explore the topic of church bullying, what it is, how to recognize it, and what to expect when it happens to you. You can find Jeremiah at The Way Ministries using these links:
