In this episode of the After Sunday podcast, Pastor John and Andrew sit down after a Father's Day sermon from Romans 15:5–7. A lot of people have learned not to expect much from a church — not because they stopped believing, but because they have been judged, talked about, and welcomed on the surface while being frozen out beneath the surface. This episode is for those people. They talk through what it actually means to receive someone versus tolerating them, why preferences quietly become walls, what the prodigal's father shows us about how a church is supposed to greet people, and where the real line is between preferences, doctrine, and sin. If church has become a place you attend instead of a place you belong — this one is worth your time.
