About this episode
This episode explores the concept of judgment in relation to Jesus and challenges the perception of judgment as a negative experience.
For a lot of us, judgment feels more threatening than hopeful. Even if we believe God is loving, the idea of standing before Jesus still stirs up fear, anxiety, shame, or the instinct to hide. Somewhere along the way, many of us learned to imagine judgment as getting caught instead of getting healed. This week, we explored one of the most uncomfortable lines in the Apostles’ Creed: “He will come again to judge the living and the dead.” But what if judgment has never been about humiliation or rejection? What if it’s about restoration? Protection? Mercy? What if the problem isn’t judgment itself—but the kind of God we imagine standing behind it?
