Why Jesus Preached the Kingdom & Not Religion | Kingship Only Podcast EP 18

What if your relationship with God was never supposed to be complicated? In this episode, Coach Kevin and Pastor Joe dive deep into one of the most freeing truths in Scripture: Jesus didn’t come to start a religion. He came to restore the Kingdom; and that changes everything.

From Genesis to Jesus, this conversation explores God’s original intent for intimacy, identity, and authority and how religion often gets in the way. Joe shares raw, personal stories of performing for approval, trying to “look holy,” and finally realizing that what God wants most is relationship. They break down the difference between doing and becoming, explain how the tabernacle was always pointing to us, and call out the religious mindsets that make people feel excluded, unworthy, or unseen.

If you’ve ever felt like church missed the mark… or like something inside you was still searching for God in a real way, this one's for you. This episode will remind you that the Kingdom is in you and God wants to dwell with you, not just visit on Sundays.
