SCAPEGOAT: How We Try to Save the People We Love

In today’s episode, “Scapegoat: How We Try to Save the Ones We Love,”  we’ll take you behind the scenes of Josh’s resignation from his church, and explore how internal leadership fractures can surface when an organization comes under the pressure of a firestorm. We’ll unpack a theology of scapegoating and discover it’s far more complex than the way the word is usually used. (Spoiler alert: Josh didn’t just experience scapegoating, he participated in it himself.)We’ll see how Jesus meets us in unique and powerful ways when following him becomes costly.-- Blessed Are the Canceled is a podcast about how being rejected, mocked, and discarded can become a pathway into the presence of God.  Through personal stories, Scripture, and theology, the show explores shame, betrayal, forgiveness, exile, and spiritual formation. 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts📬 Read along on Substack🎧 Season One Soundtrack Playlist on Spotify Edited by Ryan Biermann Theme music by Tents Intro music by Orchid Rainbow  If you found this episode meaningful, consider subscribing and sharing it with someone who might need it.  #BlessedAreTheCanceled #ChristianPodcast #FaithInSuffering
