Why Religious People Judge (And Jesus Didn’t)

Can God really forgive anyone? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Pastor Sol McQuay, and Ti'heasha Beasley unpack one of the most powerful encounters in the Gospel of Luke—the sinful woman who pours everything she has at the feet of Jesus. What begins as a conversation about Luke 7 quickly turns into a deeper discussion about repentance, grace, shame, conviction, and what it truly means to experience God's forgiveness. Together, they answer honest questions many Christians wrestle with: • What's the difference between guilt, shame, and conviction? • Is repentance more than simply saying, "I'm sorry"? • Are all sins equal in God's eyes? • Why do Christians sometimes become judgmental? • Can someone who's made serious mistakes really receive God's grace? If you've ever struggled with your past, battled feelings of condemnation, or wondered whether God could truly forgive you, this conversation is for you.
