The Go To Hell Podcast

Colton is playing the music game Spotle and Tim is listening to Guns N' Roses Use Your Illusion I & II. What could have been one great album of all time was instead a self-indulgent revenge album against the band's (er, Axle Rose's) enemies. Nevertheless, there is pure genius and it's a must-list for any rock fan. Oh, and Colton is shocked by finding out when the Red Hot Chili Peppers were formed.

We've got two fantastic beers this week. First up, we have the Morgan Territory Brewing Co. Hoptomic Double IPA. It's tasty and surprising. Mild for a double IPA. Second, we have Liquid Gravity Brewing Co's Cooler Than Cool Cold IPA. Tim thinks it might be the best Cold IPA he's ever had and he loves them. Then we ruminate on the need for a California Central Coast Beer Half Marathon.

Apologies for this late episode. We had the flu this week after recording the episode which prevented us from editing the pod. 

Beer of the Week:

• Stone Brewing Co. Fight On! Pale Ale

Music of the Week:

• The banality of Do They Know It's Christmas?

What the X? - How mixing politics with Christianity has damaged the Church

Finally, we discuss the Christmas movie classic, It’s a Wonderful Life. Though it’s played during the Christmas season, its not really a Christmas movie. However the movie is profound with an important message during the Christmas season. We also discuss how Jimmy Stewart’s PTSD from flying bombers over the European theater in WWII contributed to some of his stunning performances in the movie.

Recorded the week of Thanksgiving, we begin by indulging in some cooking talk. We then follow up our review of Good Will Hunting with a discussion about how great secular art and pop culture can inform us to understand broken people and to how to live the best Jesus-centered life.

Next, we delve once again into the Israel-Gaza war by pointing out that Israel provided military support to the country of Azerbaijan and their ethnic cleansing of Armenian’s from the Nagorno-Karabakh region. This inconvenient truth certainly makes full-throated support of Israel more difficult.

Further, as Christians we should be animated by the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., “Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love.”

We finish the discussion by strongly disagreeing with prominent Christian Russell Moore who, amongst other things, states we should support Israel because “Our Lord Jesus was and is a Jewish man from Galilee. Rage against the Jewish people is rage against him, and, because we are in him, against us.”

Tim and Colton tackle two topics. First, Colton raises the question, is there a better way for Israel to deal with Hamas in Gaza? Is what Israel doing a mistake? Tim referenced an important video by former Naval Seal Jocko Willink that discusses this as well. Yes, we are spending a lot of time dealing with Isreal for a show about Christianity and the Church but we believe what people believe and how they go about believing it is important for Jesus followers to think about and discuss. The second topic deals with the loss of community in America. Family and community have been eroding steadily for several decades and it has created many, if not most of the problems we have today: education crisis, drug, alcohol and sexual abuse; gun violence; spike in mental health cases; homelessness; and, yes, the decline of the Church. We quote from a great book “Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging” by Sebastian Junger.
