So I said, this can only happen when oppressed people get a hold of the gospel. So it's only been less than 100 years, where oppressed people in America anyway, have been writing about the gospel of Jesus Christ. And so for all intents and purposes for faith, as a, maybe a few 1000, a couple 1000 years old, it's all still relatively new for oppressed people to be speaking about their experiences, writing about having scholarship with it, and we're uncomfortable with it. We're really uncomfortable with oppressed people seeing Jesus. What we want is for them to have a sanitized, constructed view of Jesus that has nothing to do with the liberation of their own lives. I read a book, red lip theology. And that book can only exist when oppressed people get a hold of the gospel, and dares to be free. Candice bimbo has dared the community to tell her that she can't be free in Christ. She has given us a glimpse into what it might look like. If we actually believed that Jesus came to set us free. If we lived into not being filthy rags, but being good. It's a crazy thought that God might actually like us. And she did that by talking about her own experience, and needing a God who actually liked her, and not just tolerated her. And that can only happen when oppressed people get a hold of it. James Cohen only happens. Because he gets an opportunity to see the gospel and dares to be free in it. There's to be more than a filthy rag, dares to live into being a child of the King. Not some servant, who stumbled into favor. But somebody who was supposed to be there the entire time. That not just you were handing me down your version of Jesus. But I got to experience Jesus myself in this. This is what comes of it. I can only exist, because oppressed people got a hold of the gospel. Heck, the legacy Museum and that experience could only exist because we got to hold the gospel. And we refuse to look at it through the sanitized eyes of the oppressor, who gave it to us. That we don't have to experience God the way that you want us to experience God that we can experience God on our own terms. And that's going to make you very uncomfortable, because you won't be able to control it. It won't look like how you wanted it to look. It won't be some warmed up version of what you thought you understood. It won't be what you have deemed truth. And the only kind of truth that can exist, it won't be that because you don't have my lens. You don't have my experience. You don't know where God found me better yet where I found myself when I actually experienced God. So you don't get to to shape my truth for me. Or tell me that my experience is invalid. You don't get to do that. That's why running churches now is a difficult task. Because you can't just give someone a cookie cutter explanation and expect them to just follow your rules because they can read. This is the first time in the history of this faith. We're just about everybody who picks it up, can read it and give you their opinion of it. Reading Comprehension is a fairly new thing to have on mass. scale. And because it exists, you can't just make up rules and expect people to follow them. You can't tell them that that's right. And that's wrong in your life or your experiences have no bearing on it. It just doesn't work that way. Nothing does. But this is only possible. red lip theology is only possible Dylan sellers is only possible. Candice bembo is only possible. Press people get a hold of the gospel and dare to be free. Thank you, Candace, for daring to be free. sharing your story with the world. I know. I might not be your target audience. But it hit me too. I'm humbled and I'm appreciative. Thank you for sharing what you share with the world. That's all I got to say about that. I'm out
