EP144: Why Do Fundamentalist Christians Dislike Jesus? - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

Christians should be able to defend slavery? Pastor Joshua Haymes said that on his podcast. It was clipped and shared, sparking outrage. Might it be the case that Haymes is being consistent with a hermeneutic many evangelicals already share? Jim Babka explains why so many believers react emotionally but struggle to explain why.

In this episode, you’ll discover a better hermeneutic. You'll also learn why grace is essential and why reaching people before they tie their identity to hate matters.
