Welcome to the Planet Jesus Podcast! This is Ep. 21 “Canceling Cancel Culture.” In this episode, I acknowledge that there are times when we need to call out bad behavior and sin. But, that can only occur from a position of relationship. Also, I address the void that exists for a person who is canceled. Cancel culture does not provide a space for people to change but rather forces war-like entrenchment in order for the one who is canceled to survive. The Christian program for addressing sin is repentance – forgiveness – reconciliation. This program creates a space for one who deserves to be canceled to be recovered into the relationship. Who doesn’t need that? Who is free from offense?

The Kingdom of God is structured for interdependence were everyone labors to support the needs of the whole. Christians should work together to support one another and represent a kingdom of abundance, not scarcity.

As the Apostle Paul writes to the Roman Christians, he challenges them to think about their role in society. Throughout time these questions have always been relevant to Christians. Who do we know that deserves our wrath, but instead receives our graciousness? How do we use our God given gifts? How should we react to the world around us, or in other words… Who is our neighbor’s best neighbor?
