The Church above sees no contradiction in decrying ideas like karma while preaching a gospel that states God only rewards those who go to Church, pay their tithes, and do good things. The church often preaches about a transactional God that doesn't exist rather than inviting others into a real relationship with the Divine.

.

This is the Underground Church and we believe that God's act of salvation is an invitation to work with God to make our hopes in Him become realized in our own time. We believe that God does not force salvation on anyone, but we also believe that salvation is not achievable on our own. This is why an open and relational God is necessary for any practical theology in our modern times.

What is the true meaning of salvation? What is one means of salvation? What is the salvation of God? What is the Bible way of salvation? What is the meaning of Christian transformation? What is the transformational model of Christianity? What does a transformational church believe?

.

In this episode, we will:

• Explore the meaning of working with God on our salvation
• Deconstruct our role in our relationship with God
• Examine the power of faith
• Discuss the need to express feeling of defeat and pain

Tripp and Kristy accidentally sound like Barthian loyalists, Leah makes sure we remember that all theology is practical theology, so we eventually get back to remembering who we are. It's long, it's fun, and it was live!

Why would Pharaoh say no to Moses' request for the Jewish people to worship God in the desert? How is he a great example of a bad boss and what should leaders learn from that? Why does he demand the Israelites can no longer mix straw with their bricks? Why do the Israelites not go to God or Moses first for their complaints? Why is it okay for Moses to cry out to God in despair? How does God react to Moses' questions with patience? How does the genealogy of Moses and Aaron effect them and their right to speak? Why does Moses repeat himself to God?
