What does it actually mean that God is "eternal"? The answer might completely upend everything you thought you knew. In fact, at the Transfiguration of Jesus, something might have been revealed about God and time that completely breaks our brain. In this episode, we sit down with New Testament scholar Shane Wood to dig into what Scripture actually teaches about God's relationship to...

The question of drug legalization has never been more pertinent. In the USA, more and more states are legalizing the use of marijuana. Medical usages for psychedelics have also become a hot topic, thanks in no small part to some major podcast figures. But what should the Christian take on the decriminalization of drugs be? Should we maintain the status quo and resist the normalization of such subs...

On this episode, we "give the devil his due" and dive into...

Last week, we released part 1 of our debate with David Artman of the Grace Saves All podcast about universalism, the view that all will eventually be saved. This week, we dive into Scripture to ask: What does the Bible say? Is the traditional view of Hell a myth? And does Scripture actually reveal a much more optimistic view of the future? Pull out your Bibles and get ready for some fireworks as w...

This is only part one of the de...
