What if everyone gets saved in the end… and that is actually the problem?
In this second and final conversation on universalism, we dig into the “Disney ending” version of theology. The idea sounds comforting. No eternal consequences. No final separation. Everyone reconciled. Cue the emotional music. But what does that do to justice, holiness, leadership, and the actual claims of historic Christianity?
We talk about universalism ...

If meaning is just something we make up, why does it keep falling apart?
In this episode, the conversation goes straight at atheism and the meaning problem it creates. Not as a debate and definitely not as a gotcha. More like an honest look at what happens when belief in God is removed and purpose is expected to hold itself together anyway.
We talk about why meaning feels necessary even when people reject faith, where moral frame...

Why does temptation always feel manageable right up until it isn’t?
Temptation rarely shows up wearing a warning label. In this episode, the conversation digs into how Christians actually experience temptation in real life, not the dramatic, headline-worthy stuff, but the quiet decisions that add up over time. The kind that usually starts with “this isn’t a big deal” and ends with “how did I get here?”
