Summary
Sunday Night Potluck – In this unscripted livestream, I wrestle honestly with one of Jesus’ most challenging commands: “Turn the other cheek” (Matthew 5 : 38-48). I explore the Old Testament background of “eye for an eye,” the surrounding context and how the early church understood this passage. I also confront the struggle to contextualize this verse in the modern context. How do we resist outrage culture and engage in the radical patience and forbearance that Jesus requires us to practice, even toward our enemies? In the final 30 minutes, I share my decades-long struggle to apply Matthew 5 to my own life.
