Forgive Us Our Trespasses (#812) - a podcast by Wayne Jacobsen

Have you ever been the victim of religious trespassing, where someone is trying to force something on you for your own good?  Have you ever done it to someone else?  Most of us have. It is the nature of religion to trespass on people's lives thinking it will create an opportunity for God to make himself known. More times than not it backfires. The life of Jesus is always an invitation, never an imposition. In this episode, Wayne and Kyle respond to a listener's email about what protocols they use to navigate varying expressions of the body of Christ to avoid being manipulated. They talk about trusting their yuck meters and learning to live inside the freedom God has brought to them. Forcing ourselves on people is the opposite spirit of the life of his kingdom.
