    E20 “The Three Wise Men: Who Were They?”

    What if everything you thought you knew about the wise men was incomplete? The nativity scene is iconic, but the story behind those mysterious visitors is far more profound than most realize. Who were they really, what did they believe, and why did they travel so far to worship a newborn king? This episode peels back layers of history and theology to reveal a perspective you’ve likely never heard from the pulpit.  Episode 20 of “Spiritual Hot Sauce” by Chris Jones is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.   Send us a text Support the show Follow, share, and leave a review — it really helps!

    E19 “Why We Fear God: Escaping Fear-Based Faith”

    In this candid episode of Spiritual Hot Sauce, host Chris Jones challenges the safety of "community-first" religion using the powerful metaphor of the Bull Elephant. He argues that while gathering in the safety of the village to talk about God is comfortable, true faith requires an individual journey into the "jungle" to encounter the Divine firsthand. Jones critiques the traditional "hellfire" doctrines that use fear to enforce compliance, suggesting they actually prevent believers from seeking a genuine relationship with God. By re-examining the concept of Zoe (eternal life) and exploring the idea of conditional immortality, this episode invites listeners to trade the fear of eternal torment for a brave, personal pursuit of the Father's love.

    E18 “A Conversation With Kyle Whitaker: God, Philosophy, and Bourbon”

    In this thought-provoking conversation, Chris sits down with Dr. Kyle Whitaker, philosopher and co-host of “A Pastor and a Philosopher Walk Into a Bar,” to explore the intersection of faith, doubt, and intellectual honesty. Kyle opens up about his unique perspective as a Christian materialist who doesn’t believe in an immaterial soul yet has experienced genuine encounters with God. They dive deep into the deconstruction movement sweeping through evangelicalism, discussing why so many are leaving conservative Christianity, the role of LGBTQ issues in faith communities, and what it means to hold religious beliefs without certainty. Kyle shares his journey from potential Christian apologist to academic philosopher, his struggles with prayer in the face of suffering, and why he describes himself as “three days a week an atheist.” This conversation challenges easy answers while making space for the complexity and ambiguity inherent in authentic spiritual life. Whether you’re deconstructing, reconstructing, or simply questioning, this episode offers a refreshing model of faith that embraces doubt as part of the journey.

    E17 “Can God and Science Share the Same Space?”

    Is there a God — or at least, is it possible? In this episode of Spiritual Hot Sauce we explore a fresh bridge between Scripture, archetypal wisdom, and modern physics: the tabernacle as a three-part template for body, mind, and spirit, Einstein’s and Newton’s intuitions about a unifying substrate, and the ancient idea of namarupa (name‑and‑form) that everything visible arises from the same energetic source. Philosophically, can God and science share the same space?

    E16 "A Conversation with H.L. Hussmann: Unlearning Religion”

    In this episode of Spiritual Hot Sauce, Chris Jones sits down with H.L. Hussman, founding pastor of Daylight Church in Louisville, Kentucky, a community created for people who don’t quite fit the traditional church mold. H.L. shares his remarkable journey from being a traveling Christian apologist and author to questioning his own teachings so deeply that he chose to destroy his own published books. The conversation explores themes of religious trauma, evolving faith, the meaning of sin, and the rejection of eternal torment theology. Listeners will hear a candid and profound story of conviction, transformation, and redefinition of spirituality that challenges conventional religious ideas and offers a welcoming perspective for both believers and skeptics. https://www.daylightchurch.com/ pastorh@daylight.com Episode 16 of “Spiritual Hot Sauce” by Chris Jones is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.   http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Send us a text Support the show Follow, share, and leave a review — it really helps!

    E15 “God’s Justice: Justice for Lily - James 1”

    Imagine being betrayed, abandoned, sick, homeless, and destitute—and in your most vulnerable moments, the people who should help you help themselves to you instead, which is what happened to Lily before drugs led to addiction, then prostitution, then an HIV-positive diagnosis that was considered a death sentence, leaving her asking: where is justice? This episode uncovers a secret hidden in the Old Testament tabernacle that redefines biblical justice and religion.  Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/17PxQSRsGN/?mibextid=wwXIfr Follow on X https://x.com/spiritualhspod?s=21 Contact us at spiritualhotsauce@gmail.com Episode 15 of “Spiritual Hot Sauce” by Chris Jones is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.   http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Send us a text Support the show Follow, share, and leave a review — it really helps!
