Some of us were taught that the Gospel is “offensive” because it tells people how bad they are.But here’s the real scandal: The Gospel isn’t offensive because it condemns. It’s offensive because it includes.It disrupts our boundaries. It welcomes the wrong people.It tears down the fences we built to keep ourselves “special” and others “out.”The early church was crucified, not for being exclusive —But for being far too inclusive for the world to handle.Let’s talk about it.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God
We are deep into our series The Gospel We Missed, and today we’re going to zoom way out — beyond personal sin, beyond heaven and hell, beyond individual salvation — and look at the Gospel the way the early church and the apostles preached it.Because here’s the truth:If your Gospel is only about your personal afterlife,then it’s not the Gospel of Jesus Christ.The early church didn’t just preach salvation from something — they preached salvation for all things.Let’s stretch our imagination and rediscover just how cosmic this Good News really is.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God
Because let’s be honest: Most of us inherited a version of the Gospel shaped more by Western legalism, medieval fear, and Reformation-era debates than by the faith of the early church.So what did the earliest followers of Jesus — those closest to the source — actually proclaim?The answer might surprise you.It might even liberate you.Let’s dive in.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God
For a lot of us, repentance was a transaction.A religious bargaining tool.We were told: “You sinned. God’s angry. Say sorry — and mean it — and maybe He’ll forgive you.”Repentance was framed as an emotional negotiation with a short-tempered God. But what if repentance was never about appeasing God — but about awakening to God?Let’s dig in.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God
Most of us were given a “deal-based” gospel:God is holy and angry. You are sinful and guilty. Jesus pays your bill. If you accept the deal, you’re safe.That’s a transaction.That’s an exchange.That’s a conditional agreement between two parties.But the Gospel — the one Paul preached, the early church protected, and Jesus embodied — was never a transaction.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God
For many of us, the Gospel we were handed sounds like this:“You’re a sinner. God is holy and angry. Jesus takes your punishment. If you believe the right things, you get to go to heaven when you die.”That sounds familiar.But here’s the real question:Is that the Gospel the early church preached?Because the Gospel didn’t begin in the 1500s with Martin Luther.It didn’t begin with penal substitution.It didn’t begin with the Sinner’s Prayer or the altar call.The Gospel began with Christ — and the early church preached something far more cosmic, relational, and restorative than many of us have heard.Let’s recover it together.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God
How do we live with hope when the headlines scream death, violence, assassination, and cancel culture? 🤯This message dives into the tension we all feel: the chaos of the world vs. the confidence of the gospel. We’ll explore why the good news of Jesus still outshines every outrage, every culture war, and every “urgent” debate—and why keeping Christ at the center is the most radical thing we can do.👉 If you’ve ever wondered how to process current events without losing your faith, your peace, or your voice, this one is for you.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God
Most of us were taught to live for God — striving, performing, trying to please a distant deity. But what if the gospel invites us to live from God — from within the eternal dance of Father, Son, and Spirit?In this episode, we explore what it means to live from the divine communion that already includes us. The Trinity isn’t a doctrine to memorize; it’s the atmosphere of our existence. This is where prayer becomes participation, work becomes worship, and love becomes the rhythm of our being.We’ll talk about union, belonging, and the daily practice of divine flow — not as something we chase, but something we awaken to.You’re not trying to get into God. You’re already home.👉 Listen now and discover how living from Trinity transforms the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God

Let’s be honest — even if we believe we’re in Christ, sometimes we still fear we can fall out.So today’s episode is your reminder — and maybe even your permission slip — to rest in this:Nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus.Let’s dive into the heart of that good news.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God
This episode picks up where the last two left off.In Episode 146, we said: Union is the starting line — you don’t begin separated from God.In Episode 147, we said: Christ is in you — not as a metaphor, but as your lived reality.So today we ask the next question:If that’s true… how do we grow? How do we change?Here’s the answer: You don’t grow into union — you grow in awareness of it. You’re not becoming someone new — you’re becoming who you already are.Let’s unpack that together.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God
Uf you joined us last episode — Union Is the Starting Line — we unpacked the radical truth that you don’t start separate from God and work your way into closeness. You start in union.Today we take that one step deeper.Because union isn’t just about proximity — it’s about indwelling. Paul didn’t just say, “You are in Christ.”He also said, “Christ is in you.”And that isn’t poetic language. It’s a spiritual revolution.Let’s talk about what it really means.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God
If you’ve ever felt like you’re chasing God, working your way toward Him, or struggling to earn your place in His presence — this episode is for you.Because here’s the truth:You’re not running toward union. You’re running from it, or waking up to it. But you never lost it.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God
We often think of the Incarnation as something that happened once—a singular, miraculous moment 2,000 years ago. God put on flesh, walked among us, died, rose, ascended... and now, He’s “somewhere else” until further notice.But what if the Incarnation wasn’t meant to be an exception……but the unveiling of what’s always been true?What if God didn’t just become human once—but revealed through Jesus that the divine has always been committed to embodiment?That’s what we’re talking about today.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God
What if the Gospel isn’t just a way out — but a way in?What if it’s not merely about going to heaven……but about heaven coming here?What if it’s not an exclusive escape plan……but an all-inclusive restoration project?Yeah. That’s what we’re diving into today.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God
Over these last episodes, we’ve been exploring what it means to say that all ground is holy ground. That there is no sacred-secular divide. That heaven and earth are not distant realms but overlapping realities. That creation itself is saturated with the presence of God.And today, we’re going to reflect on how we carry this awareness forward — how we live as if Holy Ground is truly everywhere.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God
