The Law of Love: The End of the Debate on Sin

Send us a textIn this episode, we explore a universal truth that transcends time and belief systems: the quest for identity. From the earliest stories of humanity, like Adam and Eve in the garden, we see how a single deception shifted our understanding of ourselves and the world. The serpent's lie wasn't about breaking a rule—it was about distorting our sense of who we are.We'll revisit the Genesis narrative, where Adam and Eve hid from their source of love, creating a false image of themselves and of God. This ancient story echoes through time, speaking to the way we still grapple with questions of identity today. Drawing from wisdom across various spiritual traditions, we reflect on how our distorted self-image has led to separation, fear, and confusion. But the journey doesn’t stop there. This episode explores how wholeness and true identity can be rediscovered, not by following rigid rules, but by embracing the deeper truth of our oneness with the divine and with each other.We are reminded that identity is not something we have to achieve—it's something we are born into. This episode invites listeners of all backgrounds to reflect on their own journey of identity, wholeness, and belonging. No longer nameless or formless, we are each part of a greater whole, connected in love and purpose. Listen as we explore what it means to move from separation into unity, and from fear into freedom.

Send us a textIn Order, Disorder, Reorder, we explore the transformative spiritual journey that every person and community must undertake. Drawing from biblical wisdom and the evolution of human experience, this podcast dives into the universal pattern of growth: moving from a place of security and structure (Order), through the challenges and disorientation of change (Disorder), to the enlightened peace that comes with renewal (Reorder).If you are journeying through deconstruction or questioning your traditional faith, this wisdom pattern will allow you to brush off the opinions of the people around you and stay focused on the beauty of discovering new life on the other side of evangelicalism.Inspired by John 12:24, we examine how spiritual growth requires the death of old ways to bear the fruit of transformation. Like the journey of Israel, the "womb of the Incarnation," each stage of life reveals deeper layers of faith, wisdom, and understanding. Through stories of suffering, success, and everything in between, we learn to embrace the paradoxes of life—where darkness and light coexist, and where everything belongs.Join us as we unpack these stages of life and faith, discovering how love, faith, and hope guide us through uncertainty toward the only thing that endures: the deep, indestructible presence of God in every moment.

Send us a text“Righteousness” without justice always manifests as hate.  Explore the 2 commandments that Jesus told his disciples that replaced the law of Moses and how for generations we have cherry picked Mosaic laws to justify shaming people into conformance.  Meaningless conversation is often disguised in religious eloquence. Just because it sounds sincere, doesn’t make it true. What if love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control are the the only laws for spiritual governance and everything must flow from that.  Anything that doesn't resemble these attributes is indeed not Godly and never will be.#deconstruction #ProgressiveChristianity #sarasotachurch #LGBTQ #affirmingchurch Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative
