    Episode 09: Salvation (Season 1 Finale)

    We wrap up season one by connecting all the dots from our previous 8 episodes. The chaos dragon is in your heart and conquering your old brain is a spiritual exercise, not a psychological one. We also de-construct the idea of "hell" as a place of fire and brimstone and show that, just like the external chaos dragon in your heart connects the physical and spiritual realms, Christian belief says that our decisions in this life decide what we experience in the next one. We close with a challenge - go start your own Reconciliation Project. Heaven and Hell podcast series from the Bible Project

    Episode 08: Evil as "Anti-Creation" Part 2 of 2

    We build on our discussion of ancient dragon myths and show how the Bible took the external chaos dragon and personalized it within the human heart. The spiritual world and our physical reality are not separate but rather one reflects the other.

    Episode 06: Self 3 ways: Part 3 - Christianity

    Our final episode in the 3 part series on "self" we dive into the biblical story of Adam and Eve, illuminate what Christians mean when they say we are "born in sin", and discuss a specific teaching of Jesus around losing your life to save it. At the end, we visit the end state of evolutionary psychology and mindfulness meditation - a "default state of consciousness" that seems quite a lot like seeing God within creation.
