In this episode, we challenge a common misconception: Did Jesus hate religion? The truth may surprise you.

While Jesus was born into a devout Jewish family and faithfully observed religious laws—like circumcision, the Sabbath, and Passover—he also pushed back against empty rituals and religious hypocrisy. From cleansing the temple to rebuking the Pharisees, Jesus called for authentic faith, emphasizing love, mercy, and justice as the heart of God’s law.

Join us as we explore how Jesus balanced devotion to God’s law with a bold critique of its misapplication. Discover why his teachings are still relevant today, reminding us that religion isn’t the problem—it’s how we live it.
