In this episode, we explore the complexities and challenges surrounding the lack of transparency in South Asian culture. From family dynamics to societal norms, transparency often takes a backseat, leading to misunderstandings and unspoken truths. We dive into how God's word shapes and forms us as a culture that reflects him to the world.

Are we loving God with our hearts, or just following a checklist of rules? It’s easy to fall into legalism—where faith becomes about rules rather than a relationship. But Jesus calls us to something deeper! We were designed to have a relationship with the one who made us. A thriving, loving and safe relationship.

In this episode, we’ll explore how to truly love God without getting trapped in a legalistic mindset.

Legalism or rigid rule following is one of the biggest reasons why people walk away from Jesus and his church. It takes away the joy of being loved by God and being part of authentic community.
As South Asians (and Christians) legalism is a big part of our culture. Jesus through his word addressed this behavior with much seriousness. While we think it draws us closer to him, it actually does the opposite. If you are struggling with it, we hope this helps.

We will discuss more on 'How can we love God without being legalistic?' in the next episode (Ep. 4). Stay tuned!
