Christian always say "Jesus saves" - but how, exactly? There's the popular notion of substitution, but what are some lesser known theories of salvation? How does our language about Jesus and what Jesus does for us affect the way we live our every day lives?

In this episode we explore what it means to live the life of faith and why we should always be striving to realize the Kingdom of God/Beloved Community on earth.

What if God isn't just an old bearded man in the sky? In this episode I begin my systematic theology with the main topic - God. Join me in exploring traditional and non-traditional views of God's nature, God's character, and God's relationship to all Creation. One thing I forgot to explicitly say but should be evident throughout is this: God is Love.

The first episode - an introduction to who I am and why I believe what I believe, as well as an invitation to join me in pursuing what Martin Luther King, Jr. called "The Beloved Community". The word "Christian" does not have the connotations it should; it means "follower of Christ", but most "Christians" are anything but. I believe there is a place for actual followers of Jesus to join together with people of all different faiths and particularities around the world to help realize true peace on earth.
