Hey friends, welcome back to Jesus the Legend . I’m really excited about today’s guest—Peter Hiett. I first came across Peter years ago through a YouTube video called Hallelujah in Hell . At the time, I wasn’t sure what to make of it—creepy music, chalkboards, dark rooms, Arielle singing, and some seriously strange (but intriguing) theology. Still, it stuck with me. Later on, I heard him on David...

Hey everyone, welcome back to Jesus the Legend —a podcast where we’re doing our best to uncover the beauty and depth of God’s story, often in ways that surprise and transform us. I’m so happy you’re here today, because we’re dipping our toes into the book of Revelation… and we’re going to go all the way to the end because if you stop at the lake of fire, you miss something profound. In fact, I bel...

Today we have a very special guest—John Crowder. I’ve known John for years, and while he’s certainly stirred up controversy in some religious circles, I genuinely believe that if people would take the time to listen to him, get to know him, and hear his heart, they’d see that his deepest desire is for people to encounter Jesus in a real and transformative way. My sense is that many of his critics...

Hey everyone, welcome back to Jesus the Legend. Today we're going to talk about something that has completely changed the way I read the Bible — it’s the role of the early church and church tradition. Now, before you roll your eyes and think, “Tradition? That sounds old and dusty,"... stick with me… Because what I’ve found is that far from being dusty… tradition and the voice of the early...

Welcome back to Jesus the Legend. Today we’re talking about a topic that’s been on my heart for a while now—something that’s both fascinating and, honestly, really surprised me once I checked it out for myself. The title of this episode is "Scripture’s Silence on Hell - What the Bible Doesn’t Say." If your church background was anything like mine, you were probably taught that hell—a pla...

Hey, everyone! Welcome back to Jesus the Legend , the podcast where we’re doing our best to dig deep into the wild, wonderful, and beautiful Gospel.  Today, we’re diving into the consuming, heart-stirring fire we see all throughout Scripture—the fire of His love, His power, and His presence. But here’s the twist… it’s not a fire that torments forever, but one that transforms . So grab your coffee,...

Welcome to Jesus the Legend. Today’s episode is titled: We're All Universalists (But We Won’t Admit It) . Now before you start yelling, stick with me for a few minutes. It’s gonna be worth it. What if I told you that, in many ways, we already think in universal terms without realizing it? When it comes to sin and the fall, we have no problem affirming its reach. We acknowledge that sin has aff...

Hey everyone, welcome back to Jesus the Legend! Today, I want to dive into a topic that came up in my recent interview with David Artman. When I asked him what the biggest push-back he gets against Christian Universalism is, he said it’s the idea that it takes away free choice. That really got me thinking, because I wrestled with that same question a few years ago as well… plus I’ve heard that sam...

Welcome to Jesus the Legend… today we’re diving deep into another fun parable -  Matthew 25: 31-46 - “The Sheep and the Goats” . This passage has been a cornerstone of thought on judgment, mercy, and eternal destiny. But what does it really mean? Does it teach eternal conscious torment, or is there something deeper happening? Today, we’ll touch on a few different ways of how this passage has been...

Welcome back to Jesus the Legend, where we’re doing our best to explore the radical goodness of God and how He’s better than we could ever imagine. Today, we’re going to chat about a big question: "Who is a child of God?" And, "Why does so much of Evangelical Christianity insist that you're either in or out?" I want to invite you into a deeper, broader, and more beautiful v...
