There is no easy way to slice it; religion is a challenging topic. This week we take on one of the most influential spiritual leaders to ever walk the planet earth and, arguably, one of the most influential people in the history of the world. That person is Jesus Christ. 

In this episode, we discuss the person, the history, and most importantly, the wisdom to live life to the fullest. If you think this is only for Christians, I would challenge you to listen to this episode and read from the selected texts below.  Push yourself outside of your comfort zone!  I will ask Christians to do the same thing when we study other atheistic philosophers and non-religious Christian figures. 

Whether you are a Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Theist, or even an Atheist, there is wisdom to be uncovered by reading through the teachings of Jesus Christ that apply to all people, in all eras, and all backgrounds. The goal today is to unpack and disentangle the theology from the universal wisdom that Jesus spoke about during his time on earth. 

Ultimately, we will boil down the teachings of Jesus Christ to five core teachings that repeatedly recur in the Christian doctrines that transcend religiosity and provide a framework for living life to the fullest.
