Ep 2071: Disrupting Religion

Jim and Martha Brangenberg dive into the heart of faith and work, joined by Colin Ferreira, author of the book Disrupting Religion. Together, they challenge the norms of modern Christianity, questioning whether Jesus intended to create a religion or disrupt it entirely. Colin shares his journey from wild living to radical faith, sparked by a Ponzi scheme and a divine wake-up call.

Colin emphasizes that Christianity isn’t about rules, buildings, or organizations—it’s about sonship and a relationship with God as our Father. He unpacks how modern Christianity often loses sight of this, becoming focused on activity rather than identity. The conversation explores intriguing metaphors for the Church: the battleship, the cruise ship, and even the pirate ship. Are we projecting God’s power, keeping passengers comfortable, or chasing treasures through illegitimate means?

This episode is PACKED with thought-provoking insights about faith, marketplace ministry, and the need to break free from "religion" to embrace true freedom in Christ. Don’t miss Colin’s bold take on the importance of obedience, faith, and the role of the Father in our daily lives. Grab his book at DisruptingReligionBook.com or on Amazon to dig deeper!
