This week, we talk about hell. It's one of the most controversial topics in the Christian conversation - many people hold to an eternal torment interpretation, whilst others have left the church completely because of it. Josh and Jesse both have a slightly different view - a view that the Adventist church has held to for decades. Let's talk about hell.

Jesse's wife made him watch the Royal Wedding from start to finish. He wasn't into it all that much - that is, until Bishop Michael Curry stood to the podium and delivered a sermon on love, power, and FIRE! We break it apart and talk about what we thought of it, and why we think it's one of the most important sermons of the 21st century.

Well, this one was awesome. We interview Keira Bullock. She's been a teacher, worship pastor, and chaplain. We talk to her about her theology of creativity, what it says about God, and what it says about us.

We're back after a few crazy weeks of travel and interviews. This week we talk about evangelism. It's a word fraught with misconception, so in this episode we talk through what evangelism is, what we do with it, and whether it has a place in our Christian communities today.

A sticking point for many of who grew up in church or find ourselves surrounded by church culture is the Bible. It's an incredible anthology made up of dozens of individual documents, each of which has hundreds of different manuscripts, copied down and collated over a series of thousands of years. But perhaps most audacious of all is its central claim: that contained within its pages are thoughts, feelings, and communications from God himself. How we think about the Bible is vital if we take faith and spirituality seriously. In this episode, we interview Ben Reynolds about issues surrounding translation, Biblical interpretation, and how to understand and study the Bible for ourselves. We learned a lot in this episode, and we hope you do too!

Julene is a pastors' kid, a mum, a teacher, a youth pastor, and much, much more. Josh and Jesse talk to her this week about her life, growing up in the church, contributing to youth ministry and finally, leaving the bubble and venturing out into the unknown. She breaks down beautifully what it means to be missional outside the safety of Christian community, and some of the challenges and struggles that go along with that. We hope you feel inspired and challenged to look outside yourself a little bit more, and maybe, leave your bubble too.

Josh and Jesse have a problem: they're both pastors, but they're losing faith in the architecture. From thinking about 'church' as a building or organization, to the way we're indoctrinated about how we should express ourselves and our faith, the guys firmly believe we need to take a good hard look at our theology of architecture.

This week, Josh & Jesse talk about Easter; most notably, its origins. Is Easter really pagan in origin? And if so, should we still celebrate it, or toss it out completely? If you disagree with the opinions expressed in this podcast, write us. We're keen to hear what you think!
