Episode 32 - Enter Into Life Part 3
December 30, 2020 08:00 - 1 hour - 58.4 MBTo close out our series on Facing Our Responsibility, Jimmy and Patty end their discussion on Entering Into Life by looking closer at the story of Jesus and the Rich Young Ruler. Is this just a story about giving something up, or is there something deeper going on. Using the bible as a moral teaching tool, and not seeing it for the grand epic narrative that it is has lead to much misunderstanding and needless suffering. Join us as we try and pick apart our bible and attempt to see what the Bi...
Episode 31 - Enter Into Life Part 2
December 23, 2020 15:24 - 39 minutes - 36 MBTaking responsibility is the first step into entering into life. As Christians, we often think of people outside of the church who need repentance and salvation from hell. However, when Jesus talks about hell it is often couched in dialogue against corrupt religious institutions. Religious hypocrisy and calling yourself a child of God while living contrary to God's true purpose creates a sort of living Hell. God's purpose for Christians is not to be the moral police running around wagging the...
Episode 30 - Enter Into Life Part 1
December 16, 2020 22:59 - 52 minutes - 48.4 MBIn this episode, Patty and Jimmy end their discussion by reconsidering what Jesus meant by hell. Understanding hell in a context that takes into account the rest of the bible couches it in present reality versus an eternal destination after death Jesus is inviting us out of a sort of living hell (state of sin) into life to the full that can be experienced (in part) right now. This begins the final set of conversations of our season of Facing our Responsibility and will set up the next conve...

December 09, 2020 22:38 - 1 hour - 62.2 MBIn this episode, Jimmy and Patty have a discussion about reconsidering what Jesus means when he talks about Hell. While the Bible does not talk a lot about Hell, most forms of Christianity seem to revolve around how to escape Hell and get to Heaven.

Especially in our tradition most of the emphasis of sharing the good news with people revolves around warning them...

Episode 27: The Gospel Part 2
November 25, 2020 08:00 - 1 hour - 57 MBIn this episode, Jimmy and Patty transition their discussion to talk about the gospel. Most people assume that the gospel is about how not to go to hell after you die. However, as we have seen in this discussion on Facing Our Responsibility the Bible is much more than a manual on how to get to heaven and stay out of hell. Many people live their entire lives without ever truly coming into contact with the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this episode, Jimmy and Patty talk about their own journey of ...
