Jesse Smith shares details of his struggle with mental illness including manic and bipolar. Joey, a “fellow sufferer” of mental illness reflects on his struggles and not surprisingly the two find lots of common ground. The importance of proactivity in taking care of one’s mind, the phenomenon of not being able to relate to one’s mentally ill mind using one’s sound mind, suicidal thoughts, the importance of transparency, and the art of loving yourself are just a few of the topics discussed on this one.

Different approaches to Christianity?  Same team?  Joey and Jon talk through some different approaches to faith as they see the world and their spirituality through different lenses.  How representative is their conversation of a greater on-going conversation currently in the church?

As military personnel, Lieutenant Colonel Ted Jacobson has some interesting thoughts on “answering a call” from God that often leads to taking the life of a human.  WWJD, man?  We also talk conspiracies, “NFL kneeling,” whether the Revolutionary War was justified in the context of a Christian worldview, we discuss Isis, reflect on USA’s integrity (or lack of) in fighting wars, reflect on putting a comrad out of his/her misery and shudder at the dangers of North Korea.

Dr. James Yanney, Maxillofacial Surgery specialist, has a grand house in Downtown Charleston.  Many restorations to it’s original 1700s look make a very suitable setting for the ghosts who consistently accompany James and other family members.

Wes Fahlenkamp is back on to discuss “the dead in Christ.”  We’ve heard it all the time.  “They’re in a better place.”  “They’re with Jesus now.”  “They are walking on streets of gold.”  But every now and then, you get the less exciting point of view from some one who is convinced that the dead in Christ are totally dead, asleep, their consciousness waiting to be revived when Jesus resurrects the dead.  Today, you get that less exciting point of view from Wes Fahlenkamp.

Heaven is going to be diverse, all races represented, so congregations should reflect that, right?  We’ve all heard this rationale but just how important is this; and if it’s important, how do we set out to diversify our churches without coming off contrived?  We ask Aaron Nowel (Christian Alcoholic Blog/Ministry) what he thinks.http://christianalcoholic.com

When it comes to the death of those who never accepted God’s plan of salvation through Jesus, our two guests agree on one thing.  People are not eternally consciously tortured.  While Chris Date (Rethinking Hell Podcast) believes these people will never see heaven but will rather be destroyed, Wes Fahlenkamp (author of Jesus and Hitler) believes that Jesus saves everyone.  Pull up a chair and grab a snack.Chris: rethinkinghell.comWes: biggestjesus.com

Can autonomous intelligent beings be created or will these “beings” always be machines with complex spreadsheets? If these beings can be created, what does this say about God? Speaking of God, what sort of evidence for “him” is out there, what prejudices affect our conclusions, and are Christians right in their beliefs, dishonest, mislead or just plain stupid? Oh, yeah, and that last question? Same question about atheists.
