    "Dr. Joshua Ryan Farris on the Soul: Answering Questions You Didn’t Know You Had” Ep#24

    What makes you actually you? Is consciousness just neurons firing, or is there something more? Dr. Joshua Ryan Farris—leading expert on the soul with a PhD from Bristol and author of 11 books—tackles the deepest questions of human identity. We explore Platonist, Cartesian, and materialist views of the self, the difference between eternal and everlasting life, why religious people can become “NPCs” in their own faith, and whether your soul is the ghost in the machine or you ARE the machine. From the anatomy of consciousness to temple architecture as a map of human composition, this conversation goes deep into what Scripture, philosophy, and neuroscience reveal about who we are. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re more than your physical body, this episode delivers serious answers with accessible insight.

    “A Conversation with Jeromy Johnson: What Is Christian Universalism” Ep#23

    Former evangelical pastor and Slutty Grace host Jeromy Johnson joins Spiritual Hot Sauce to challenge listeners on salvation: Is it exclusive or universal? He shares his deconstruction journey from youth ministry to Christian Universalism, questioning hell, separation from God, and eternal punishment through biblical lenses. Chris probes these ideas thoughtfully, exploring grace, reconciliation, and faith’s mysteries without endorsing—inviting believers and skeptics to wrestle with bold theology. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/slutty-grace-christian-deconstruction-universal-salvation/id1834785665 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/slutty-grace-christian-deconstruction-universal-salvation/id1834785665 https://www.sluttygrace.com/ Episode 23 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!

    “Repent: Why We Get It Wrong” Ep#22

    What if everything you’ve been taught about repentance is incomplete? In this episode, Chris Jones challenges the traditional Christian understanding of repentance as merely turning from sin. Drawing from the Hebrew concept of “shuvah” and the practice of teshuva, he reveals that biblical repentance is a journey of becoming—not just unbecoming. Through Isaiah 58 and Jesus’s teachings, Chris demonstrates that true repentance means actively loving your neighbor, breaking chains of oppression, feeding the hungry, and administering God’s justice based on need rather than deserve. This isn’t about religious behavior modification—it’s about discipleship that transforms both you and your community.

    “The Three Wise Men: Who Were They?” Ep#20

    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!

    “Why We Fear God: Escaping Fear-Based Faith” Ep#19

    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.
