Are Christians Hypocrites? (S1:E4 Show Notes)

Have you ever said or heard someone else say this: “I don’t want be a Christian because Christians are hypocrites.” It’s one of the primary perceptions that discourages people from wanting to follow Jesus. In this episode, Jasmin looks at two explanations for why the actions of someone professing to be a Christian might not always align with what they say they believe, and shares some encouragement for both Christians who are growing in spiritual maturity and those not yet Christians who may be hesitant to follow Jesus because of the belief that Christians are hypocrites. See below for Bible verses and more study resources based on this conversation.
