Thank you for listening to Conditional Christianity where we are on a journey to show the world, both the saved and unsaved, what it means to be authentic, unconditional love!!
"Feelings Draft" is the first official episode of our podcast!! I wrote this draft of my feelings sitting on a bed in a hotel room not knowing exactly what God was wanting me to do next. I had just went through one of the most challenging seasons of my life, dealing with racism, the betrayal of "friends," the silence of colleagues, and watching a Christian organization manipulate and spiritually and emotionally abuse minors. I made a stand for what was right and was wrongfully terminated from the position I held. This place defamed my name and tried to taint my character by the lies they told about me. The past five years I have faced being excommunicated by a house of prayer and Christian organization because I will not stand by and watch the church abuse people and teach false doctrine. Many rushed to tell their side of the story at the expense of my name, while I took what I went through to God and prayed for wisdom on how to handle the situations because I could have told what really happened and blasted everyone involved. Five years of being talked about, lied on, having my character under assassination all from being obedient to what God asked me to do, what He asked me to say, where He asked me to go.
Yet even through it all, I knew that God's peace always kept me so why would I stop trusting Him now. I have always said to myself, "Jasmine, even if you were to lose everything, as long as you have your faith, then you have everything." So I knew that no matter how rough things were, I was going to keep my faith and build it up to an even greater level. My faith has always been the crazy kind of faith, yet it has never failed me because God has never failed me.
I do not typically share drafts of what I have been through nor what I feel for a couple of different reasons however I invite you on this journey. I share my story because so many people have went through things they should not have had to go through especially in ministry. I do not view what I have went through as church hurt because that's not what it was for me. I took a stand against darkness and injustice that were used in God's name and He had me speak up about it. One of the main goals through this journey is to provide a safe space for people to talk about their stories and then help them heal from their experiences.
God never called us to be religious headmasters. He called us to love one another unconditionally and share with the world what saved us as believers. Together, we can do and be so much more than what religious, traditional ways of doing things has told us we had to be. We are called to be the body of Christ, so let us be that.
This podcast has been in the works for a couple of years and now it's time for it to reach you.
