The Go To Hell Podcast

This week it's our first Go To Hell at the Movies episode. Tim & Colton break down Clint Eastwood's western masterpiece Unforgiven. Eastwood's best movie is a rich, complex morality tale about the thin line between justice and vengeance. After that, we talk a bit more about American Christianity and how mixing those two; or worse how prioritizing being an American, can be a problem. That conservat...

Tim and Colton start 2023 with a couple of hot topics. First, we discuss the death of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, who died at the age of 95 and left quite a legacy. Second, we discuss the question many have asked for two millennia: why didn't Jesus write down His own teachings and biography? https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253202/full-text-of-benedict-xvis-spiritual-testament/ https://www....

Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne? On this special (and long) New Year's episode of the podcast Tim and Colton talk a little about New Year and resolutions and a couple Hot Topics. We then play a little game of "Dogma or Doctrine?", discussing a variety of church confessionals and beliefs and discuss if and why they...

On this special Christmas episode of The Go To Hell podcast, we find out Colton is a terrible gift giver and Tim has no female friends. Then we read from the two accounts of Jesus’ birth in the Bible, Matthew and Luke; discuss why there are two different accounts, what they mean, and speculate about other matters involving the birth of Jesus. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwi...

Many no longer find a home in one church or go looking for a church home elsewhere. Others leave church and never go back but they don’t leave the faith. And some of us spend a season of life (or all of our lives) roaming from church to church at itinerant believers. What’s the difference between church shopping and finding the right church? The reality is church is messy because it’s made up of m...

Welcome to a bit of a wild and messy episode of the GTHP. Is the Word of God just the Bible or is it more than that? What does it mean to be “God-breathed”? Trouble can certainly arise when we stray too far from the Bible but do we limit our walk with Jesus by only understanding the Word of God is just the Bible? We discuss with our raucous buddy Nolan.

Would Jesus go to a bar to “call them to a changed and fruitful life, to die to self and live for him” or to hang out with them? We discuss. “Don’t tell me you want to see me in heaven when you don’t much care for me on Earth.” H/T: https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2022/08/01/jesus-without-judgment-friends-243396 Beer of the Week: Tioga Sequoia Brewing Co.

Our first full episode finally released. This has been a long time in the making. This is our introduction to who we are and what we are about. This is our chance to lay down the foundation for a lot of our future conversations. We hope you enjoy!   A podcast where STRONG OPINIONS are weakly held. We are just a couple of guys who discuss hot takes on Christianity, religion, faith, life, and much m...

Jesus calls his followers to both The Great Commission (go and make disciples of all nations) and the Great Commandment (love God above all else and love your neighbor as yourself). All too often, Christians have followed one and not the other; or in practice one versus the other. What goes wrong when we don’t keep both central to our faith and why is it imperative to follow both? Beer of the Week...

Tim and Colton welcome their first guest to the show, buddy Andy, to discuss pacificism and self-defense. How Christians can honestly be convicted on one side or the other of the spectrum… or somewhere in the middle. We also talk cigars and how and why Colton doesn’t know who Muhammad Ali is.

We revisit the five reasons people are leaving the faith, with further reflections on the five reasons people are leaving. Did Jesus come to demolish religion and if yes, have too many of us made being a Jesus follower just another religion? Apologies for the technical issues as we had a mic malfunction. We hope you can listen anyway.  Beer of the Week HenHouse Brewing Co . collaboration with Alta...

Few, if any, truly believe Heaven is some ethereal place in the sky with whispy clouds and everyone dressed in white robes. More common is the belief that Hell is an eternal lake of fire and damnation. What does the Bible say about both and what do we believe about them and what lies ahead for us after this life?

The world today might seem like it's going to hell but in truth, we live in a time of unprecedented wealth, health and prosperity, not only in the United States but around the world. The paradox is in a world with less suffering it becomes harder to understand why a God would allow suffering to happen. We grapple with questions about why God allows suffering in the world and other issues.    Beer...

It’s the 21st Century. We no longer live in a pre-digital, modern, Judeo-Christian society but a digital, post-modern, post-Judeo-Christian society. How has this and other factors led to a steady reduction in those identifying as Christian and a rise of “The Nones”? How do we know and argue following Jesus Christ is the only answer?   Beer of the Week: Drakes Brew Co. Best Coast IPA Kirkland Citra...

The Church and Christians have all too often not acted with grace and mercy, but instead acted with condemnation and judgment. Did the intermixing of Christianity and Faith through movements like the Moral Majority and Christian Coalition, political battles over gay marriage, and abortion damage people’s view of Christianity? The Catholic priest abuse scandals of the 2000’s are an underappreciated...
