Most of us have been taught to operate in the world based on our mind – our cognitive understanding, logic and reasoning. Most Christians have been taught in the same way, to understand that we are forgiven; that Jesus died for us and that once we accept Him, it is a fact that we are forgiven. Yet the moment we do something that causes guilt and shame, the “fact” of our forgiveness buckles under the feelings of our “sin.” Forgiveness must be EXPERIENCED EMOTIONALLY before it can become our REALITY, because what we know in our mind is an illusion, but what we know in our HEART is REAL. _____________________________________________ Welcome to THE CHURCH IS BROKEN podcast. Join Samuel Neider, a former pastor, on his journey of enlightenment as he shares his story of walking through darkness and despair to lay hold of the LIGHT that he could not find in 30 years of seeking, searching, and serving in the church. Samuel exposes why the church is broken and how the misaimed, man-made system fails at bringing light into the world and at producing transformation in the lives of the believers. Samuel will empower you, the listener, with the good news of living the KINGDOM LIFE, based on the TRUTH of what Jesus really taught and commissioned us to do - the TRUTH that has been veiled by the broken system of the church.
