Taking responsibility is the first step into entering into life. As Christians, we often think of people outside of the church who need repentance and salvation from hell. However, when Jesus talks about hell it is often couched in dialogue against corrupt religious institutions. Religious hypocrisy and calling yourself a child of God while living contrary to God's true purpose creates a sort of living Hell. God's purpose for Christians is not to be the moral police running around wagging their fingers and telling people what to do.

In this discussion, Jimmy and Patty talk globally about the Seven Woes, and how the culture we are creating in our churches is our true mission. Our mission is not to recruit the people of God, but to be the people of God.

In this episode, Patty and Jimmy end their discussion by reconsidering what Jesus meant by hell. Understanding hell in a context that takes into account the rest of the bible couches it in present reality versus an eternal destination after death Jesus is inviting us out of a sort of living hell (state of sin) into life to the full that can be experienced (in part) right now.

This begins the final set of conversations of our season of Facing our Responsibility and will set up the next conversation we will have starting in 2021 called Embracing a Transformed Life.

In this episode, Jimmy and Patty have a discussion about reconsidering what Jesus means when he talks about Hell. While the Bible does not talk a lot about Hell, most forms of Christianity seem to revolve around how to escape Hell and get to Heaven. In fact, most traditions have traded away the authentic gospel for what they see as a chance to escape eternal punishment in Hell.

Especially in our tradition most of the emphasis of sharing the good news with people revolves around warning them about the perceived reality of Hell and how to escape going to Hell. In this conversation, we seek to redefine Hell in light of what Jesus and the Bible actually seem to be saying.

In this episode, Jimmy and Patty transition their discussion to talk about the gospel. Most people assume that the gospel is about how not to go to hell after you die. However, as we have seen in this discussion on Facing Our Responsibility the Bible is much more than a manual on how to get to heaven and stay out of hell. Many people live their entire lives without ever truly coming into contact with the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this episode, Jimmy and Patty talk about their own journey of learning about the gospel for the first time as Christians, and how that journey of understanding the gospel is still unfolding.
