Phill Tague - Discovering the Real Jesus

Pastor and author Phill Tague joins Bleeding Daylight to share his powerful journey from legalistic Christianity through rebellion and crisis to authentic covenant faith. After growing up in a loving but rule-focused Christian home, Phill experienced a profound spiritual awakening that transformed his understanding of what it means to truly know Jesus. His story includes a life-threatening climbing accident that crystallized his surrender to God's purposes and led to planting Ransom Church.

In this vulnerable conversation, Phill challenges listeners to move beyond what he calls "spiritual pornography" - the airbrushed version of Christianity that promises intimacy without cost. Using his 24-year marriage as an analogy, he explores how genuine love for God naturally leads to obedience, not as rule-following but as a response to relationship. His book "Jesus Be the Centerfold: Choosing Covenant Faith Over Airbrush Christianity" offers a provocative look at authentic faith that will challenge both longtime believers and those disillusioned with church culture.
