I AM, Part 3: I Am the Gate // Jordan Brokaw

We're all pretty good at building velvet ropes... deciding who's in, who's out, who belongs. Even the church has done it, trading the wide-open door of Jesus for membership requirements and fine print. In Part 3 of I AM, Jordan Brokaw unpacks Jesus's claim in John 10:9 — "I am the gate" — and how the way to God was never a system to master, but a person to walk through. In This Teaching Why Club 33 says more about human nature than we'd like to admit Why loneliness is wired into your brain the same way hunger is How the Pharisees turned God's door into a gatekeeping operation What it means that the shepherd himself becomes the gate Why every add-on to Jesus is a counterfeit entrance What "inclusively exclusive" actually means Scriptures Referenced: John 10:6–10 Matthew 23:13 Matthew 27:51 Acts 15:19 Revelation 21:25
