When one co-host asks another co-host if she thinks he's going to hell, due to his lack of belief in God.  Here's that conversation.

Three kids belonging to some listeners of this podcast, as well as Joey’s son Waylon, talk about the deeper things in life.  We talk about how God is good in the context of tornadoes, some specific times their parents have cussed, how the devil is apparently stronger than God sometimes, and whether or not they would be nervous to babysit baby Jesus.  One of these kids is an open theist, none of them are quite sure whether skin is an essential organ, Waylon has lied to his dad recently and a couple of them think Cobain was killed by his wife.  Oh, and the devil created robbers and cancer.

If God has the type of unlimited power and unquenchable love most Christians ascribe to the Creator, the theological reasoning behind people being separated from God forever simply doesn't hold up, at least not to our finite minds.  
But there are so many verses in the Bible that point to a much greater salvation than what most Christians have been taught.  Hearing this episode, listeners will digest the reasons why a universal view of salvation is backed by scripture just as much (if not more) as traditional views of “heaven and hell” are.  In his book, “Holy Hell: a Case Against Eternal Damnation,”  Methodist minister Derek Ryan Kubilus lays out an exhaustive theological and philosophical framework that outlines not only why this view is far from heresy but also why it's very likely to be true.  
Joey and Derek also discuss many objections to this view, including notions like “God’s love has to be balanced by justice,” and how people need to be careful not “to put a human, man-made perspective of love on infinite God."

While spanking used to be fairly normal with very little cultural push back, many people in 2023 consider all forms of spanking child abuse.  Most would agree that hitting any part of a kid's body is abuse, in the event that an adult is relieving anger.  But are there healthy ways of going about spanking children? 

Ellen, Amy and Joey were all spanked as children.  Amy and Joey reflect on personal childhoods that benefitted from that form of discipline.  Ellen however is relentless in her view that spanking is always bad.

Hayne shares the story of breaking his neck in a biking accident and cursing God, only to feel God's love draw in closer as one of the most tangible instances in his life, ever. 

Throughout this story, you'll hear how Hayne went from being "fundamentalist, reformed, Hayne"  to"mystic Christian Hayne,"  how him and his wife Erica transitioned to a more simplistic way of life as a result of this horrific accident, why Hayne finds joy in not approaching faith as something to be mastered, and why he sees his Fire Department as his family.
