The Go To Hell Podcast

The hosts return after a three-month break to catch up about coaching water polo, the season winding down, and this week’s beers (Stone's Pierce the Veil IPA and Pizza Port’s Beach Crossing IPA). The Colton is quizzed on college-to-NFL trivia.
Finally, we have a follow-up discussion on DEI. Is it dead? No! it still resides in campus culture, hiring and pronoun use, literature, poetry in classrooms, and the value of shared experiences. Is the premise of DEI itself based on bigotry and chauvinism?

Tim and Colton are coaching boys water polo together. What could go wrong? AI use and academic cheating. Then they focus on Jesus's parable in John 15 — "I am the vine" — reflecting on pruning, faith, silence, and serving others.

We try a draft with athletes, movies, and beers — trading pop-culture takes, personal stories, and a deciding beer round.
Then we discuss the Parable of the Wedding Banquet (Matthew 22), exploring themes of invitation, inclusion, self-righteousness, and the symbolic meaning of the wedding garment, with reflections on how the kingdom of heaven relates to life now.

Friend of the show, Andy, joins the podc for a Soundgarden vs. Metallica song pick-off, and a deep, candid discussion about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in education and the church. We share personal backgrounds, classroom realities, and the tension between equity-driven policies and practical outcomes, plus insights from an assistant principal on hiring, curriculum, and building inclusive communities.

We explore the difference between ethics and morality through Christian and secular perspectives, and cultural values. How do society’s rules (ethics) differ from personal convictions (morality) and how dohistorical and cultural contexts shape what we consider acceptable behavior?
Along the way they discuss film and pop-culture references, family and societal changes, and how personal experience affects moral judgments.

Despite his episode being recorded about two months ago, it's a really good one.  We have an iconic music face-offs (Prince vs. Michael Jackson, Nirvana, Pink Floyd and more). Then we unpack controversy from Kevin Hart's roast and the limits of comedy, and reflect on American identity and cultural tensions.

A debate 80s vs. 90s movies. Then we follow with a deep discussion of faith centered on the Prodigal Son and A.W. Tozer’s quote about how our image of God shapes us. The hosts examine how cultural lenses, politics, and church practices influence belief, justice, and Christian identity, calling for compassion, restoration, and a Jesus-centered view of God.
“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us" ― A.W. Tozer (The Knowledge of the Holy)
If you know what a person really believes in his or her heart that God is like, you will be able to predict with certainty the spiritual future of that person.

We mix sports and music debates and movie reviews. Then we dive into a practical discussion about love languages, which categorizes how people like to receive love. Determing love languages can not only help couples in therapy relationships but also friendships, in the workplace, sports, and the church.
