For decades, many evangelical churches have centered the Christian faith on having a “personal relationship with Jesus” and securing one’s own salvation. While often well-intentioned, this framework has quietly reshaped Christianity into something highly individualistic, future-oriented, and disconnected from the way Jesus actually taught people to live.
In this episode of '…We Have a Spiritual Problem', Dr. Jeff Armstrong examines how self-focused salvation theology can undermine discipleship, love of neighbor, and the transformation of the world. Drawing on John 3:17, the teachings of Jesus, spiritual evolution, the Omega Point, and voices like NT Wright, this conversation reframes Christianity not as a rescue plan for individuals, but as a way of life oriented toward love, sacrifice, and participation in God’s ongoing renewal of creation.
