Feel Like You Don’t Belong in Church? You Might Be Closer to Jesus Than You Think

Have you ever felt like you don’t fit the traditional church mold? You’re not alone—and you may actually be closer to Jesus than you realize. In this episode of Whiskey and the Writings, Joe Oliver explores the story of Matthew the tax collector, a social outcast personally invited by Jesus to follow Him. Together, we’ll uncover how Jesus consistently pursued skeptics, outsiders, and the spiritually curious—and why feeling disconnected from religious institutions doesn’t mean you’re disconnected from God.
