Why Do I Need Jesus If Christians Are So Messed Up?

Have you ever looked at Christians and thought: "If that's what following Jesus looks like, I want nothing to do with it." You're not alone. In this Fearless Friday episode, Sara and Tina tackle one of the biggest objections people have to Christianity: Christians who don't always represent Jesus well. From church hurt and hypocrisy to pride, judgment, and lukewarm faith, we discuss how believers can unintentionally push people away from Christ—and what we can do differently. In this episode: ✨ Why people walk away from church ✨ Church hurt and healing ✨ The difference between believing and following Jesus ✨ Why Christians still fall short ✨ Representing Christ in the workplace and everyday life ✨ Grace, forgiveness, and spiritual growth ✨ How to point people to Jesus instead of ourselves The truth is, Christians aren't perfect. We all fall short. But our faith was never meant to point people to us—it was always meant to point people to Jesus. If you've ever been hurt by the church, struggled with hypocrisy, or wondered why Jesus matters when Christians seem just as broken as everyone else, this conversation is for you. 👇 Let us know in the comments: Have you ever experienced church hurt, and what helped you keep your eyes on Jesus? 💜 Subscribe for weekly episodes filled with biblical truth, bold faith, and real conversations. 🎙️ Fearless Queens Podcast Done with lukewarm faith.
