A listener (Boo) joins the Ask A Christian Podcast to ask, "Why are you a Christian?" and "What if I just like the principles but don't believe the accounts?" This kicks off a deep dive into the exclusivity of salvation. If Jesus is the only way, what happens to people who never get a chance to hear about him? Are they doomed? And if someone's spiritual journey leads them to Buddhism or Islam, is that... the devil? (Spoiler: Nate has thoughts, and they involve demons.) In this episode, we tackle the big questions: Are good works "filthy rags" without Jesus? Is it dangerous for Christians to read other religious texts? Can you be "too immersed" in the Bible (to the point you forget to get a job)? It's a full-on theological gauntlet. If you've ever wondered why your good deeds might not be punching your ticket to heaven, this one's for you. Episode: Are Other Religions Demonic? What About People Who Never Heard of Jesus?

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
