In this conversation, we dive into the branding crisis within Christianity, exploring why the issues often lie not with Jesus, but with the behavior of His followers. We tackle the credibility gap between belief and behavior, the importance of embodying Jesus’s character, and the need for unity among believers despite theological differences.

Key takeaways include:

* The credibility gap is a significant issue, causing many to leave institutional Christianity

* Jesus exemplifies love, humility, and service, which Christians are called to emulate

* Living authentically and reflecting on our actions rebuilds trust and represents Christ well

* Love—not perfection—is the truest indicator of faith

* Grace and truth must coexist, and accountability is essential in our faith journey

* We may be the only representation of Jesus others ever see

This episode challenges listeners to reflect on their beliefs and actions, encouraging a deeper understanding of Jesus’s teachings and the impact of their lives on others.
