What I Believe About Jesus
A Controversial Figure
As odd as it may sound, there’s probably no more controversial topic to discuss in the Christian Faith than the person of Jesus. It seems antithetical to say so, being a religion founded on his teachings, but it’s true. We change, so our faith also changes. And this doesn’t always sit well with everyone in our lives.
Ryan Phipps is the Senior Minister at Church In Bethesda.
Raised in the church, becoming a pastor was the one thing Ryan vowed he would never do. After spending many years away from faith, he found that for all of its flaws, the church can still occupy a unique place of good in the world if it is willing to evolve with reason and empathy.
Ryan has a special place in his heart for those who have been damaged or disillusioned by the church, and longs to lead those within it toward a more just and generous expression of itself.
Ryan is an INTJ on the MBTI and a 5w4 on the Enneagram.
