The Religious Department (John 15:18-16:4)

Christians love talking about being persecuted. This episode asks whether they've ever considered that they might be confusing persecution with accountability. Jesus was pretty clear about what it means to be hated for your faith, and it looks a lot different from what most of us see celebrated in Christian culture right now. Using John 15 and 16 as the lens, this episode explores what it actually means to live out the ways of Jesus, including who ends up opposing you when you do, and why the "religious department" might be your biggest obstacle.
