One Extraordinary Church 

Jesus also said repent and sin no more. Yes he comes to us in our brokenness, but we are not to stay there.

Paul predicted this long ago...... "For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear." (2 Timothy 4:3) Nadia says that her congregation is "religious but not spiritual"? What does this mean?

We're all sinners at some point but the Bible shows us clearly what is a sin - and that we need to repent and stop doing it. Simple.

The Messiah came into the world to save sinners from their sins. Unrepentant salvation only exists in the mind of those that pervert the truth.

Pray for her to see His Word.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires2nd Timothy 4:3

There is so much hate speech against this woman please be encouraged you are doing such a good job thank you I really mean that thank you and to the people that write so much hate God is Love God is Love God is Love

Anybody know any decent online emerging church I have fibromyalgia so I can't make morning services

Where is the Gospel?

Isn't this what we are all about? A MIX of God's children? Love this.

Religious but not Spiritual? How do you have the trinity without the Holy Spirit?

God is love. No strings attached. Nadia is an inspiration! Authentic. Thank you,

I went and listened to her speak this past Friday night not knowing a thing about her. She is brilliant and bright, a true light.

Jesus didn’t say deny thyself pick up your cross and follow me because he wanted you to keep doing what you were doing.

What's her ( Nadia Bolz-Weber) comprehension of repentance?

Thank-you! As an ELCA member, this is church as my parents led me to believe church should be... Praise Jesus, Amen!

In the landscape of "churches", she is welcome. Good for her.

Mat 24:15 Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place PROPHESY FULFILLED

"her congregation is religious but not spiritual"l?........uhh...RED FLAGS right there!.............what about the Holy SPIRIT!? the holy spirit that dwells in the body/temple of all believers?!

4:27 "religious not spiritual"?? or did they mean spiritual not religious

How will these sinners get rid of their sin if they are in a church of sin?

May the peace of Christ be with you you hold me when I was down you hold my tears when I was crying you was there I remember the tattoos I remember the Ravens and the angels when we met

The ideals of christianity are centered in beliefs, doctrines, and practices that are greater and more divine than worldly standards. Todays church says nothing about accountability for your actions but instead uses jesus dying on the cross as an excuse to do whatever one chooses.

I want to go to this church

I am worried about our younger generation listening to this very confused and irreverent woman. She is preaching her own gospel, a religion of "self." When you do not know the Word of God, you do not know Jesus. Without Jesus you have a foolish religion without the Holy Ghost, a Christianity without the risen Christ, forgiveness without repentance, grace without justification, a Heaven without a hell and a monologue with no truth. Let us worship Him in spirit and in truth because the rest is mere vanity.

Is it me or does the narrator sound like John Lithgow?

Every church should open doors for everybody. ♡

You have heard of expository preaching, now get ready for expletive preaching!

Ye without sin , cast the first stone , sounds like some of your pockets full of them .

Unfortunately, the stuff she says on videos like this really dont reflect her ministry and church. If you walk into her parish, its unbelievable how *normal* it all feels with the liturgy, prayers, confession etc. And she really does preach the gospel with Jesus in mind the whole time. I think to truly understand her work and her goals, its better to see it in action.

GOD did not come to keep you in sin, but to free you... Does not seem like this is the case here.

Galatians 6:7 KJV Be ye not deceived God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth , that shall he also reap. She sows lies and deception so, she reaps as such to herself and others.

Matthew 7:21-23

busting hell wide open

Nadia is an exciting, truthful voice for God and especially for Christ's grace and the all-powerful Spirit. Thank God for her.

This is terrifying absolutely terrifying

The best lie has a bit of truth mixed in. There’s a reason church’s don’t let drag queens watch kids is because it is wrong to expose kids to perverse examples of sex it has nothing to do with not being accepted as a human being. Being cautions with other people’s children is not a bad thing.

Everyone loves you say these churches aren't "real" churches or other nonsense. Here's all a church needs to do. Make people want to do and be better people. That's all.

You must be born again!!

What makes this church extraordinary is how extremely deceived & devilish it is!!!

God transcends the church and His grace doesn’t stop when we do. But, that’s no reason to validate every walk of life and give out your stamp of approval so recklessly. Because man really does love darkness rather than light (Jn. 3:19) and Jesus didn’t care to flip tables when it was necessary, when man decided to use His house of prayer as a den of thieves (Matt. 21:12-13) Judge not according to appearance, but judge with RIGHTEOUS judgment (Jn. 7:24) In other words, call sin for what it is and discourage it. Don’t ignore it and pretend it’s nonexistent just because people decide to base their identity on it. All have fallen short and God plays no favorites when it comes to sin (Rom. 2:11; 3:23). But He still has purifying humanity apart from their flesh in mind also; there’s a new self for us to put on (Col. 3)

Sounds like "unrepentant" sin is welcome. Sin can condemn us to a sad eternity, so to act like it's no big deal is disingenuous to the true Gospel of Christ. Christ absolutely died for all sinners to help them overcome sin, not to help them accept and live in it. I can only judge myself, but for a pastor not to let people know they need to repent is truly sad. It's like a doctor not telling his patients they are dying of a curable cancer because he doesn't want to make them feel bad. Sin is like a spiritual cancer, first people need to know what cancer they have, and then they need to know that the cure is Christ. A good church helps people identify their sin and then teaches how they can overcome it with Christ. Law and Gospel are both important to rightly divide the Word of Truth. No sin is so small that it can be ignored, and no sin is too big to be forgiven if repented of.

So many hateful comments. Tell the truth. Yall just mad because she doesnt condemn gay people. If this piece didnt mention gay people yall would be all "Isnt she wonderful and full of the Holy Spirit". Sad.

Jezebel bringing the people on to the Lake of Fire.

Nadia, you have no authority to declare forgiveness of sins or speak a word of absolution. Instead of introducing people to the ever- loving, always gracious christ who forgives sin, you attempt to reinvent the church and lead people to believe God is "ok" with them no matter how they live. that is a direct contradiction of Scripture and leads people away from the God who will forgive them and liberates them to live a rich, full life. what we know of christ is that He welcomed anyone but always called people to turn away from sin, and towards alife of faith in God the Almighty and real faith results in obedience and a life which seeks to honor God, not just lip-service. further- we are not all both sinners and saints simultaneously, those who are set apart to God as saints by His grace through faiyth in christ as redeemer are saints indeed and can also sin but they do not simply default and acquiesce to sin in comfort they turn away from it by God's power and live a life that has a general trajectory of righteousness. See-Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God(1john 3:9). and yet still understand they are not "saved by their goodness but by God's forgiving grace.See- For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9not by works, so that no one can boast.…(Ephesians 2:8-9) Nadia you are a fraud and are a barrier to people coming to know God for who He is. You are so much worse than the "conservatives' you love to condemn- at least they call people to a forgiving christ and life of righteousness in practice.

She is great ! Love you Nadia !!

If this was a fair and balanced news report, it would feature at least a few people who disagree with Bolz-Weber and her followers' beliefs (or lack thereof). As is, we only get what seems like a one-sided indoctination, topped off by Lucky Severson's constantly nodding head in affirmation of what he's hearing.

May I remind you of Exodus 32 ...the golden calf.

This video is brilliant and so is Nadia. The comments section is AWFUL and shows the real state of 'the church' and "christians" who shout sin sin sin and judgement... Jesus constantly rebuked pharisees who were lofty and self righteous... just saying.

She's saying that real Christians want to be "seen as accepting" and say "we'll love anyone" but then won't let someone like the drag queen teach the kids....ok, lol. Love does not mean a. Overlooking/denying sin b. Boundarylessness. There are boundaries toward long-time devoted Christians or church-goers who live in sin without any repentence. Loving parents don't pretend their kids are perfect, let them do whatever, etc. This woman doesn't seem to have actually/honestly read the Bible including Jesus' own words. How does anyone believe that this is Christianity. This is a con

Nadia is preaching a true message of Jesus. Unconditional love and acceptance. That each person has value. What Jesus preached daily. And the message of Christianity from the beginning. Conservatives have attempted to corrupt that message and destroy everything that Jesus preached during his ministry. Glad to see that she is holding strong.

Thanks - this is life-giving stuff. The Lord is indeed with you and your community.

Be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil.

I have to say to all you sinners, get a grip... He amongst you who is without sin cast the first stone............ I'm waiting....... Oh here come all the stones.... Hypocrites... Judge not lest ye be judged.. The words of Jesus..

Why am I not surprised that an Episcopal priest is a big fan of hers?

A very warped sense of what true christianity is all about.

Approximately 30 years ago the late E.L.C.A. Bishop McDaniel gave a presentation at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, regarding his church body. He remained in it in order to try and bring it around to Scriptural faithfulness. In his presentation he clearly stated that his own church was not Lutheran (i.e., holding to the authority of God's Word as taught in The Lutheran Confessions) and if it kept going the way it was it would no longer even be Christian. He didn't mean that there were no true Lutherans/Christians in the E.L.C.A but rather that as a church body according to its doctrine and practice it could no longer claim to be Christian. He didn't live to see his prophecy come true. Today, the E..L.C.A. is not a Lutheran church body and worse not Christian. You cannot advocate open sin (abortion/murder, homosexuality, co-habitation, etc. as well as ordaining women which is forbidden in God's Word) and be a Christian church. To every pastor and person in authority in the E.L.C.A. God's Word to Ezekiel is directly on point! Ezekiel 3:17-18 (ESV) 17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. 18 If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. Kyrie Eleison!

I bind the spirit of Leviathan

4:29-4:57 lol

The adress of that place is 666 Sodoma street in the corner of Gomorrah ave, those who are planning to assist or to be members there, please be advise to wear non flammable clothes because the Bible predicted a rain of fire into that area any moment from now.

Lucrative for her all this LGBT church promotion!

She lauds that everyone is a sinner, yet leaves out the "Go and sin no more" part. Heresy at best, but likely much worse.

Judge NOT, lest ye be Judged. Jesus preached LOVE, not intolerance.

"I Literally dont know how anybody manages to be a preacher without being a standup comedian first." this is huge. She is entertaining you, telling you what you want to hear then using the Lutheran church as a mask to fall back on so she doesnt fall under the term "cult.". if she is so unscared, break away from the lutheran church.

What confusion? Where is the new creation that is supposed to occur? From what we once were? This is not the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST!

Today while shopping I met a Young woman who was shopping for dresses that she could take with her to Jamaica as she was on her way to a missions trip there. I pointed out a pretty dress that I had seen earlier and she said that it might be an issue because it was a tank top style. I asked if she had issues with her arms. She said no, its just that they are very conservative in Jamaica. Then she said her church is the same way so she was used to it. There you have it! Apparently God is much more concerned with whether or not you are showing your arms than anything else. Kind of goes with the ridiculous comments and replies on here. Smh...imagine her telling Jesus, but didn’t I cast out demons in your name? And He telling her, “Depart from me doer of iniquity. You showed your shoulders to men. I never knew you.” Sad.

4:50 she should consider the words of Messiah, " Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee."

Brennan Manning would be PUMPED!

Very bold & entertaining, articulate & I would suggest even sincere. Yet if all that has ever been taught by the church is overturned, how is it still the church? Sounds like Cafeteria Christianity to me. Why not start her own religion?

Luke 6:26 What sorrow awaits you who are praised by the crowds, for their ancestors also praised false prophets. Mark 16:17 - 18 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. If this church does not manifest these signs it is not of God. And they are not true believers these are not my words. But this is the word of God that I just quoted.

I do find it a bit humorous that there are so many commenters trying to tell an ordained pastor that she needs to read the bible.

Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!” (Matt. 7:21-23). This means that the listener to the gospel must not count on a mere belief in Christ’s person on the one hand, or the performance of great works in his name on the other hand as proof of his own salvation. These things will not save him. Rather, he must assure himself of his relation to Jesus Christ personally. A quote: Dietrich Bonhoeffer knew the reality of this kind of self-delusion in the Lutheran Church in Germany in his day, and “cheap grace” was his term for describing it. Here was a church, like many of the denominations in America, in which the profession of faith was present and in which some kind of good works were done, but in which most of the people had simply not been born again. They were taught “grace,” but it was grace without conversion. As Proverbs says, there are “those who are pure in their own eyes and yet are not cleansed of their filth”(proverbs 30:12). Dietrich Bonhoeffer a Great Lutheran who strood against the Nazi's knew the reality of this kind of self-delusion in the Lutheran Church in Germany of his day, and “cheap grace” was his term for describing it. Here was a church, like many of the denominations in America, in which the profession of faith was present and in which good works were done, but in which most of the people had simply not been born again. They were taught “grace,” but it was grace without conversion. If there is no repentance of sin, no striving for righteousness in living. People are essentially not being changed by God, and it is safe to say they have not encountered Jesus' radical grace. that is the problem with this movement of Bo;lz- weber "so to speak"much talk of a type of grace but none of it's life-changing, soul- freeing substance. that's just cheap grace, it's not simply worthless, it's horrible because it deludes people into believing God is ok with them just as they are when the Gospel says comes just as you are but be ready to be forgiven and made alive to God like you've never known Him before so that from that moment forward everything you do you do as if it is for Him- that is; to honor Him and reveal His Goodness. Anything less than that is terribly sad because this thing called grace was not cheap Jesus [purchased it with his death and he lives forever to give it to those who will truly come to Him and surrender their lives by faith in God's cleansing, life-giving mercy. James Montgomery Boice, The Sermon on the Mount: An Expositional Commentary (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2002), 258-259.

You haters are trapped in a narrow view of Jesus. Nadia and her church shows what Jesus was trying to accomplish. So if you don't like it, move on. Go back to your narrow churches and live your way. Stop judging.

*St. Michael the Archangel ... be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devìl ... and do thou ... by the power of God ... cast into hell ... evìl spirits like Nadia Bolz-Weber who prowl about the world seeking the ruìn of souls! Amen!*

call this "spiritual discernment",,but I don't "feel" the spirit of God in her.

She projects her own pain and rejection onto saving all these with defiant lifestyles. If she really embraced God's love and forgiveness and not her false pride on her ability to save others and twist scriptures in order to have her own false identity. Now how could I possibly say such things, well I was an addict 30 years ago, became an addiction counsellor and met God face to face almost literally. Radical conversion and set free. Took some time to work out all my wounds, our wounds distort things in our own mind. If she would read this she may understand as I was a member and worked the steps of AA as well as educated in the field.Btw the Big Book of AA was Christian based and as a result of Bill's own spiritual awakening. I left AA because it became so pagan and full of witchcraft and new age sadly

Deceiver.

Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel

I am a lutheran and I am very pleased that my church is nothing like this. In fact, we have nothing to do with them.

1st Corinthians versus 34 and 35 let your women keep silence in the churches for it is not permitted unto them to speak but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith of the law. and if they will learn anything but them ask their husbands at home for it is a shame for a woman to speak in a church.

babylon gone burn!! 😢

The father is in her I love her

Feel comfortable in your sin... Says the Devil leaning on the gates from Hell.

There has to be something between the closet sinners, that feel the need to bury their in the closet so that they can go out and act self righteous and holyer then thu, and this... which even I can recognize as feel good religion, that isn't as much "Christian" as it is a social group, of like minded individuals.

Who cares how you dress? You want to be seen as above all teachings of the Word. Open the Book once in a while.

"Evangelical" Lutheran. "American Evangelical" nothing close to true Lutheran reformed churches.

So let me get this right, the more liberal the Church and accepting the church, the better it is!.... wrong! John 7:24

This is no church. This spiritually blind woman is leading the blind to eternal perdition.

damn... this so call church is a house full of reprobate

The comments here are awful. I'd like to say that everyone who is commenting has drug abusers, adulterers and gamblers in their church. We come to God imperfect, for we are imperfect. Every single one of us. :) Those who are last shall be first, blessed be the peace makers and here I say unto you, go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Heresy. These are false prophets preaching a false doctrine.

It's the bride of Frankenstein!

Bueno! Ya satanas tiene sus iglesias 😣

If you still love the good news of Jesus Christ, you must exit the ELCA organization. No more is the ELCA religion about Christ and him crucified.

How sinful this is

The sign that the Holy Spirit is at work in Nadia and her congregation is that so many here rush to condemn. They are the new Pharisees. Nadia is proclaiming the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the orthodox faith of the Church. Those who are condemning her are not of a God but of the accuser, the one who stands against God and the Gospel of Jesus that Nadia is proclaiming.

Jesus would be no part of this blasphemy. may her and her father satan be very happy together for all eternity.

Complete degeneracy.

The Bible says that men are to be pastors and not women :^/
