Being, Believing, and Belonging

Written By Church Media Squad

This week at Paradox Church, we welcome back Kathy Lin for a beautiful and challenging look at 1 John 5:2-9. Drawing on her own journey of deconstruction, her background in psychology and religion, and her profound experiences as a hospital chaplain, Kathy unpacks the harm caused by authoritarian, punitive images of God.

Instead of a God who demands perfection under threat of punishment, Kathy invites us to see a God who entered humanity as a marginalized, poor, Palestinian Jewish man.
