This is the Brand and Sherry podcast sponsored by Meta Share. For more info about the show or about

Brandt's book, Unoffendable, check out brantanson.com. You may be one of these people, and if so,

you are certainly welcome here. People who call themselves spiritual seekers, like, I'm looking,

you know, I'm searching. I would just say this just like

friend to friend as much as I can be over the radio to you or whatever but um be open to

finding something like there's no point actually we're not really searching actually

if we're not open to finding something I'm not searching for anything we're only

searching if we think there's something to be found it may be and this I would just encourage you to do

this give Jesus a chance actually read the Bible like a Matthew Mark Luke and John the Gospels

find out what he actually did and said. Because a lot of times it doesn't

fit what you grew up with. And that could be in or out of the church. Like there's a cartoon

version of Jesus in the church sometimes and there's definitely one outside of it. Find out what

he actually didn't say. Be open to actually finding the thing that you're looking for.

Yeah, if you're seeking, but you actually don't

think you'll find anything and don't want to, you're not really seeking at that point. It just makes

sense. That's a frustrating journey. Just in life, if you're just looking for something and you never

find it, like where are my keys? Oh, I'm seeking. Now, I actually have to find something, right?

Or worse, what I'm saying is if I classify myself as a spiritual seeker and I want to stay there,

then I'm saying, I'm looking for my keys, but I don't have keys and they don't exist.

Then I'm not really, I'm not really looking for him.

So with that in mind, I encourage you to look at Jesus, see if there's something about him that you're like, no.

Now, it may be that his claims about himself will turn you off because he equates himself with God.
