In this episode we take a second look at the typical teaching that hell is eternal conscious torment and ask whether this view is actually biblical, or if in fact there is different understanding available to us — one that is both more biblical and more satisfying.
In this episode we redefine church, moving from a consumeristic model where we transact with the institutional church to provide us with goods and services, to a relational model, in which we worship God by mutually serving one another and doing good in the world.
In this episode we redefine the person and work of the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Trinity who indwells Christians to incline and empower them to become like Christ in their actions and character.
In this episode we redefine sanctification, arguing that instead of reducing sins and increasing good deeds, it is instead our ongoing salvation from the way of the world through the faith of Christ we received by believing the gospel.
In this episode we redefine salvation as liberation from sinful society and from its destination.
