(PODCAST) THE WAYS OF JESUS: If It's So 'Easy,' Why Am I So Worried?

Paying Ridiculous Attention To Jesus · Season 8 Episode 6 - If It's So 'Easy,' Why Am I So Worried?

Check out Episode 6 of Season 8: “If It’s So ‘Easy,’ Why Am I So Worried? ” — a continuation of the series “THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Rick and Becky will be exploring themes drawn from his upcoming book titled Editing Jesus.

In this episode we explore a conundrum—we know that Jesus told us that his “yoke is easy” and his “burden is light,” by why does real life so often feel like exactly the opposite of those descriptions? And why are we so worried if all of this is supposed to be easy and light?

Check out Rick’s upcoming new book, Editing Jesus.
