What if the cross wasn't about satisfying a wrathful God—but about revealing our own capacity for wrath?
In this raw and deeply personal episode, we peel back centuries of theological tradition to ask one courageous question: What if Jesus didn’t die to change God's mind about us—but to change our minds about God?
🙏 Why This Episode Matters: You’ll journey with us beyond the often-taught theory of penal substitution into something far more radical and restorative—a God whose love is not transactional, but transformational. Discover how early Christians, mystics, and modern thinkers have reimagined atonement not as divine punishment, but as divine presence.
✨ You'll Hear About:
The emotional toll of believing in a wrathful God
The ancient justice systems that shaped penal substitution
How Jesus’ death reveals our violence—not God's
Early Church atonement theories that challenge mainstream theology
Why divine forgiveness is freely given, not earned
💡 “A debt that is paid isn’t forgiven—it’s a transaction. Jesus didn’t die to pay a debt, but to show us the truth of unconditional love.”
If you've ever questioned the traditional narrative, felt uneasy about a God who demands blood, or longed for a more compassionate vision of divinity—this episode will speak to your soul. 💬
👇 Watch now and reflect with us: What if God has never been angry, only loving?
