Authenticity has become a major value in Christian spaces, especially among artists and ministers. We’re encouraged to be vulnerable, relatable, and willing to let people see the person behind the platform. But can our pursuit of authenticity ever become too important?After hearing an interpretation of Lazarus in John 12, I went back to the passage for myself and found myself questioning whether the text actually supports the point being made.In this episode, I’m exploring the difference between showing people who we are and showing people what Christ has done in us. Because being authentic isn’t the problem. The question is: who gets the glory when people see the real us?

The Traditional Millennial is a podcast hosted by singer/songwriter and Millennial, Brittany Dodson. On The Traditional Millennial, we seek to unearth those challenging yet intriguing questions that Millennials have. We will also tackle those issues that threaten to dissolve the unity of tradition, modernity, and faith. We’re talking to other Millennials, those seasoned, knowledgable saints that have come before us, and those Generation Z individuals who will carry the torch after us. We’re asking the tough questions, opening the door to deeper thought, and hoping to inspire those who want to step into a place where conventional meets contemporary and faith fills the gaps.
