    The Problem with Our Concept of Hell

    This episode is in response to a reader who suggested this topic. The thought behind this topic is simple: Has the Judeo-Christian tradition always believed in Hell?

Dan,
This is excellent material.
I am pleased to have my misconceptions about Mary Magdalene corrected.

A Fresh Approach to Religious Topics

I find Dan’s approach to a variety of religious topics fresh and invigorating! I always learn something new in each podcast and am prompted to think about the topic in a new light.

Every cloud has a silver lining!

My silver lining during this pandemic has been getting connected with these podcasts. Staying at home has given me a quieter life - the perfect time to contemplate questions of faith, belief and spirituality. Sky Pilot is a knowledgeable, able and entertaining guide to focus my mind and navigate the turbulent waters of uncertainty. Listening to one (and sometimes more) of these podcasts is an event I look forward to each day. They came along at a “teachable moment” for me.
