The Go To Hell Podcast

We Are Church

We spend the first 38 minutes talking college football. At minute 39 we do some English Premier League trivia. Finally we delve into the main topic of the evening (01:05), a candid conversation about moving to home church models. What does Francis Chan's home church ministry, We Are Church, say about starting home church? Smaller churches or home church might be better than the current Church Inc model but what are the pitfalls to be avoided?

A church DOGE

We draft our top 10 songs that have days of the week in the title. Israel is spending millions on a campaign aimed at churches to boost support. American "religiosity" is at an all time low. Is that good or bad? Maybe the answer to that question can help reform the Church in America and lead to a church DOGE.

Layla

Our top ten top songs named after a woman. Bible sales are up after the assasination of Charlie Kirk. Are we seeing a revival? If we are, is it a healthy revival? Churches are built for extroverts. How can they better welcome introverts and how can introverts work to find community.

A Firing Squad of Hypocrisy

Colton's in the playoffs. Dodgers win another World Series. Tim is doing another Ted Lasso rewatch.
Then we share a personal, candid family discussion about politics, inflammatory rhetoric, the use and misuse of charged terms, and how social media fuels tribalism. We all need to value empathy and preserving family relationships above politics.

Act as if

Apologies, folks. This is an episode that got lost in the ol’ Go To Hell hopper. Recorded about a month ago, it was briefly forgotten by the shows producer (ahem… Tim), but it an important one. We start on our usual light note, with a conversation about the best movies of this century and the current state of movie making. 
(00:01:16) Using the show’s seemingly topic du jour, pacificism, what would happen if Christians just acted as if in their walk with Jesus? Instead, on so many issues we try to stealman the Gospel, all too often causing us to not act on what we're called to do. If you’re tired of the pacifism topic, please know this is not a debate about it but a much more consequential discussion.

Turning Point in the USA?

We discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk. What caused it and where do we go from here? Is this a watershed moment for our country? Folks, the only way out of this is to take Jesus seriously and love our enemies.

Don’t Gerry My Mander

Tim highlights his visit to Oklahoma, Colton reflects on his first week of water polo season. Then, it’s been eighty years since the United States dropped atomic bombs on Japan. We have a followup discussion on the decision making process, efficacy and morality in dropping the ghoulish weapon. Finally, we discuss the ridiculous political fight over gerrymandering, specifically between Texas and California. While strange, gerrymandering is as old as the republic and legal, within limits. We are in an age of partisan Caesarism and it is leading us to ruin.

The Perils of Wrath

As public support for the state of Israel plummets arround the world, including in the U.S, we share our views about what is going on in Gaza and around Israel. And as it relates to Israel and our own lives, what happens when we give ourselves over to wrath? What does Jesus say about wrath and how to break the cycle of wrath? (Matthew 5:23-25)
Wrath looks like…..
Punishment instead of resolution
Replaying wrongs over and over
Outbursts out of proportion
Desire to hurt or shame
Refusal to forgive or even engage
Stage 1. We get angry
Stage 2. Our ego gets involved 
Stage 3. We become the sell righteous victim 
Stage 4. We give in to contempt. We take our anger and make it king or queen 
Stage 5. It leaks out of our hearts. Goes public
Stage 6. Hell on earth. Take it out on others
Stage 7. Destruction
