Summary
What we’ll cover:
Why Comer says modern life is exhausting (and he’s not wrong)
His new definitions: Sin = “missing the mark” of union with God, Hell = bad decisions right now
How the gospel shifts from “justification by faith” to a “way” of transformation & apprenticeship
The influences: contemplative spirituality, Quaker vibes, and progressive-leaning theology
The big question: beautiful vision or subtle drift from historic evangelical faith?

| 0:07.8 | That's right. |
| 0:08.2 | Let's go. |
| 0:09.2 | I posted yesterday on Facebook and on X that John Mark Comer is a heretic. |
| 0:16.9 | And now I got to back it up. |
| 0:18.7 | And I don't obviously normally do that. I think I have a few times. It's rare that I do that. But I had just |
