The UnSunday Show
The UnSunday Show asks honest questions about the origin and validity of institutional church rules, traditions, and practices. These religious rules and practices lead us away from the simplicity of the gospel and into an exhausting performance-based experience that is designed to perpetuate itself by placing ever increasing demands on its people and are of no value in Christ. If you're exhausted from trying to keep all the religious rules that have been placed on you, listen in to these conversations as we rediscover the freedom we've been given, apart from religion and empty religious obligation.

Was the Sermon on the Mount Intended for the Church? (129)
This episode is available in video on the UnSunday YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/bFNtpuVi5Mg
Mike Kapler joins me today as we talk about the Sermon on the Mount. Were Jesus' words in Matthew 5–7 directed to believers today as behavior goals — or were they intended for Old Covenant Jews still living under the law?
Before the cross, before the church existed, before the New Covenant was established — who was Jesus addressing, and why? In this conversation, we explore the covenant setting of the Sermon on the Mount and ask whether we’ve been reading church doctrine into a message that was never intended for the church. This isn’t about dismissing Jesus’ words. It’s about understanding them in context. If context helps to determine meaning, this conversation matters.
