Erik Guzman June 25th, 2007

The only people who get any better are the people who know that if they never get any better, God will love them anyway. What's more, God will not only love you if you don't get better; He will teach you that getting better isn't even the issue. His love is the issue.

Erik Guzman June 18th, 2007

The desire for perfection is a two-edged sword. On one hand, the very presence of the desire assures one of being alive in Christ. On the other hand, perfectionism can turn you into a bound-up, burned-out fake.

On this edition of the Scandalous Freedom Podcast, Steve Brown lays out the case for quitting. If you don't give up on getting better, the impossible demands of perfectionism will rob you of the joy and freedom required to approach perfection.

Join Steve Brown for the Scandalous Freedom Podcast #7, and discover that the greatest cause for our not getting better is our obsession with not getti … (Read More)

The Real Deal

Erik Guzman June 4th, 2007

If you are a Christian, God will never be mad at you again.

Struggling with Truth

Erik Guzman May 28th, 2007

"Prison could be a nice place to live, there's bars on the window like bars on a crib." - From the song Speak Soft by The Swoon.

On the 5th Scandalous Freedom Podcast, Steve (having dispatched the imposters who claim to be the real God) takes a look at the facts.

Life is complicated and it can hurt bad; so bad that you might just want to go back to the simplicity of prison. How can one believe in a good God in the face of all the evidence to the contrary? "Head" answer … (Read More)
