They Hijacked Christianity

Russell Brand: In this first part of my conversation with Michael Peters, we explore the difference between religion as an institution and faith as a living experience. Michael argues that Christianity was never meant to become a system of rules, hierarchy and attendance, but a direct encounter with Christ that transforms individuals from the inside out.

Together we discuss the nature of spiritual growth, the meaning of community, the tension between political action and personal transformation, the Kingdom of God, the limitations of institutions, and whether true change begins by reforming the world around us or by surrendering ourselves to something greater. Along the way, we dive into consciousness, scripture, church history, spiritual warfare, the crisis of modern Christianity and the search for a faith that remains alive rather than becoming another system.
