In this episode, Jamal also shares an audio chapter of Free To Love entitled 'An Undissected Love' which talks about the existence of the all encompassing nature of love (agape, phileo, eros, storge) that dwells all together at the same time in and through us for others in an undissected way.

This is part 2 of our series on The Lie of Lack.  In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal explores how the Lie of Lack physically and chemically alters our bodies (flesh) through addiction, and also how this same physiological pattern of addiction manifests the lie of lack through co-dependent relationships.  In addition to that, Jamal describes how the lie of lack negatively affects our sexuality and changes the trajectory of the sex act itself.  

Jamal goes on to describe how the gospel (good news) reshapes our approach to relationships and how this also reshapes our approach to sex itself.  This episode of The Love Cast is for mature listeners.

As human beings, we have been deeply affected by 'the lie of lack'.  As a result, we have become blinded to our inherit goodness.  Chances are, if you've been a part of the religious system, you know that 'the lie of lack' has simply been repackaged to assault our identity by accusing our flesh of being inheritly evil.

What do the scriptures really teach about our flesh?  Is our flesh inheritly evil, or is our flesh inheritly good?  In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal explores the root of human nature and also explores how the 'lie of lack' has affected our flesh.  Jamal also discusses why knowing the truth about the inherit goodness of our flesh is key to our freedom.  This is part one of a very important four part series about 'the lie of lack'. Give this episode a careful listen.

 

Jamal writes more extensively about the 'lie of lack' in his book Free To Love.

Jamal goes on to talk about Jesus' interaction with the Samaritan woman from John 4 as an example of what a vibrant, inter-dependent relationship with God can look like, and how this differs from the typical codependent relationship with God that the religious system has conditioned us for.  Finally, Jamal also shares how the attempt of many Christians to relate to the historical person of Jesus (who is no longer here on the earth) actually blinds us to the reality of Christ who is here.  Throw some headphones in and give this episode a careful listen.

In episode 1 of The Love Cast, Jamal shares his vision for The Love Cast as a new weekly podcast.  An explanation is given for why the name 'Love Cast' was chosen for this podcast, and why The Love Cast is a vital continuation of the conversation that was initiated by Jamal's newly published book Free To Love

In this episode, the term 'buzz word' is defined and contrasted with reality.  Jamal talks about why 'Christ' has actually become a buzz word and has become disconnected from the reality of Christ, which is love personified through relationships.  In addition to this, Jamal talks about why religious deconstruction is necessary and what the specific topics that will be discussed in the weeks ahead will be.
