Summary: Darin and Robert discuss the difficulties that many people have seeing God as “father.” Detoxing from religion in exchange for a God of grace and love is far easier than detoxing from our experiences we’ve had with our fathers. Many Christians prefer to view God as a majestic, untouchable ruler of the universe rather than a loving father because of the closeness that is required in the father/child relationship. There is a difference between being carried by an all powerful super hero and being carried by our father. It may not seem different because in each scenario, we’re still being carried, but apparently to God there is a huge difference. It seems that God is way more interested in creating a family then He is in creating a kingdom of god-groupies.
