Take This Bread – Sara Miles on SBE

Erik Guzman July 25th, 2008

Sara Miles was a passionate atheist, but early one morning curiosity got the best of her and she walked into the open doors of St. Gregory's Episcopal Church in San Francisco. She was offered a piece of bread and some wine, she took it and walked out of the church a Christian.

Use one of the options below to hear Sara and Steve talk about her radical conversion and what happened next.

Sara is a journalist who has written for The New York Times Magazine, The New … (Read More)

"I'll hold the phones and the wallets."

Erik Guzman January 16th, 2008

A guy named Chad (see pic) came over this week to talk with me, Mark, and Mr. Wood about chucking his life in the States and traveling all over the world (over 37 countries) for the past 2 years with something called The World Race.

If you've been listening to our show for a while and you've forgotten what a good Christian sounds like, this program is a nice reminder.

Chad is living a radical life of helping those in need and giving them the hope of the Go … (Read More)

Truth & Consequences

Erik Guzman November 28th, 2007

Check out this edition of [ping] and witness the birth of a new character in the pantheon of podcasting, Erik Solo.

I've never piloted this thing without somebody riding shotgun, so Mark and Jordo called in to keep me company. To stick with the Star Wars imagery, Mark plays the role of Chewbacca and Jordo makes a great C-3PO (fluent in over 6 million forms of communication).

Anyway, it was a good show. We talked about God's non-existence, keeping an open … (Read More)

It's Called Guilt!

Steve Brown November 14th, 2007

Do you know why Christians sometimes have a hard time enjoying Thanksgiving?

It's because we have so much and know that, if we got what we deserved, we would have nothing.

The rich in general and film/rock stars in particular have that problem too. That's why they say such dumb things and support so many crazy causes. They're surprised that they have so much and they're afraid people will find out that they just "lucked out" and are not as … (Read More)

The Failure We Foster

Erik Guzman October 8th, 2007

Many Christians live in a prison of failure. They aren't free and they don't succeed because they don't think they deserve it.

A misunderstanding of success, humility, and the law mixed up with bad psychology and worse theology have produced churches full of guilty people with a guilty preacher standing in the pulpit, telling the guilty people that they should feel guiltier. Can you think of a better recipe for failure?

Scandalous Freedom

Guilt and Isolation

Erik Guzman August 13th, 2007

When a Christian leader acts as if he or she has a hotline to God and knows all, don't listen to that leader. You'll end up suffering under tremendous guilt. What's more, when you affirm that kind of nonsense in a leader, you subject him or her to a prison where it's impossible to be free.

On this week's Scandalous Freedom Podcast, Steve discusses the plagues of Guilt and Isolation that result from putting people on pedestals.
