My guest for this episode is Emily Shepherd. Emily and her family spent several years in a high-control Reformed church environment before making the decision to leave. This is her story, so I'll let her tell it. If you're in a similar situation I hope this encourages and helps you.

Take Five: How To Have a Jesus-Lite Theology of the New Covenant

The UnSunday Show asks honest questions about the origin and validity of institutional church rules, traditions, and practices. These religious rules and practices lead us away from the simplicity of the gospel and into an exhausting performance-based experience that is designed to perpetuate itself by placing ever increasing demands on its people and are of no value in Christ. If you're exhausted from trying to keep all the religious rules that have been placed on you, listen in to these conversations as we rediscover the freedom we've been given, apart from religion and empty religious obligation.
